New High-Volume Shipping System, Improving Patient Accessibility, Will Be Showcased by Cryoport Systems at Phacilitate's Advanced Therapies Week in Dallas

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cryoport, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYRX) ("Cryoport" or "the Company"), a global leader in supply chain solutions for the life sciences, today unveiled its Cryoport Express® Cryogenic HV3 Shipping System ("HV3"), the Company's newest product innovation in Cryoport's comprehensive portfolio of global end-to-end temperature-controlled supply chain offerings.

The HV3 ensures unparalleled protection and accessibility for biologics and other temperature-sensitive materials. Its unique rectilinear design eliminates the need for palletization (securing goods on a pallet for transportation) and provides the ability to transport critical life science materials on narrow-bodied aircraft, ensuring compliance with regional carriers and reducing flight rejections and delays. As a result, the HV3 increases the number of available shipping lanes, which will improve patient access and enable life-saving therapies to reach patients in underserved areas.

This newly developed shipping system offers enhanced payload protection and resilience during transport. With additional space for non-temperature sensitive accessories and documentation, the HV3 also improves storage efficiency through the ability to stack and nest the shippers, making it more cost-effective and user-friendly. Full compliance with airline requirements plus an integrated condition and location monitoring system provides full Chain of Compliance®. Engineered to meet the specific needs of advanced therapies, the HV3 ensures enhanced payload security and superior temperature control, maintaining payload integrity and extended temperature stability at -150°C or lower.

The HV3's structure also enhances mobility with its robust wheels and an integrated front-facing handle, improving accessibility at point-of-care sites. Its design also provides for scalability or higher density storage capabilities at manufacturing and clinical sites. While improving overall safety for clinicians and operators, these improvements enable more efficient handling (and storage) at point-of-care sites, contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMO's), and other storage locations, reducing the need for additional site-based resources. The HV3 is also designed to be used with Cryoport's Safepak® System. The Safepak® System is a purpose built solution that utilizes non-metallic, soft materials to minimize the effects of vibration and shock during the transport of cell and gene therapies.
