Envirotainer launches CryoSure — A revolution in -70°C cryogenic shipping

Whereas most of the temperature-controlled pharmaceutical shipment solutions have historically involved temperature ranges of 2–8°C and 15–25°C, many pharma products and biospecimen samples require below -70°C shipments. More importantly, many new products within Cell & Gene Therapy, Clinical development, other non-finished products as well as mRNA vaccines have to be transported below -70°C. That’s why Envirotainer now offers its customers the revolutionary CryoSure^® platform — based on the Linde Seccurus^® technology and Envirotainer’s 35 years of experience, designed with today’s and tomorrow’s high demands in mind, it has unmatched performance, superior duration and is the most sustainable solution on the market.

Shipping products at below -70°C is very challenging. Long shipment durations, combined with risks for delays, supply and handling of dry ice, and human errors, are putting many shipments at risk. There is no room for failure when shipping life-saving products. This is the reason why Envirotainer now launches the revolutionary CryoSure platform, based on the Linde Seccurus technology and Envirotainer’s 35 years of experience. With its superior duration of up to 3 weeks, heat resistance and unparalleled ease of use, CryoSure is the most reliable choice for -70°C cryogenic shipments, and for protecting patient safety.

With its unique feature set, CryoSure sets a new standard for secure cryogenic solutions. For more information, please visit www.envirotainer.com/cryosure.

“This new CryoSure technology takes pharma transportation to the next level by mitigating most if not all risks currently faced when shipping pharma products below -70°C. It is a game changer and is going to revolutionize this part of the market,” says Mattias Almgren, CryoSure Platform Executive at Envirotainer.

“For many years, the strategy of Envirotainer has been to extend our offering through new innovative products and services and to expand into new segments. This technology fits perfectly into our circular business model and is going to be an important part of our offering going forward. The unique, premium quality and completely reusable technology matches perfectly into Envirotainer’s global footprint,” says Fredrik Linnér, Chief Business Development Officer at Envirotainer.

How it works

The CryoSure flask is made from durable, high-grade aluminium and delivered inside a sturdy cardboard box filled with foam for additional protection and easier stacking. The product space, made from the same material as the exterior bottle, is chilled to below -70°C with dry-ice pellets/rice charged from the top. To ensure minimal heat transfer, the walls are vacuum insulated. The unique design of the CryoSure bottles provides an extremely low sublimation rate and maintains the temperatures stable between 2–7 times longer than any competing technology.

A solution for every need

The CryoSure platform offers four different products depending on the needs of the customer: the CryoSure X1 (1.0L), the CryoSure X2 (1.6L), the CryoSure X5 (5.0L) and the CryoSure X11 (11.1L).
