This document summarizes a study comparing two methods for shipping living cells while maintaining their viability. The study found that cells shipped in CryoStor CS5 media and transported in a CRYO evo smart shipper, which monitors temperature in real-time, maintained higher viability and function compared to cells shipped in traditional media and an EPS container without temperature monitoring. Specifically, cells transported with CryoStor CS5 and the smart shipper did not experience any decline in viability or delayed functional recovery after shipping, unlike cells transported with traditional media and an EPS container. The study demonstrates the importance of optimized cryopreservation media and temperature-controlled shipping containers with real-time monitoring to maintain cell health during transportation.
