The Cellbox Go is a small, lightweight and portable CO2 incubator ideal for uninterrupted, short & mid-distance transport of sensitive biological materials under optimal conditions. It provides efficient thermal and CO2 stability for worry-free mobility.

Cellbox Go tracks and monitors crucial data to ensure optimal conditions to prevent loss of cell count and viability, altered protein expression patterns or unwanted cell differentiation. Choice of two models:

  • Cellbox Go Ground, provides lab-like incubation conditions during transport – by road, rail or sea.  Includes an integrated rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack and a CO2 conditioning system that relies on disposable CO2 cartridges.
  • Cellbox Go Flight, is a cell shipping CO2 incubator with IATA compliance. It provides lab-like incubation conditions during transport by air. It is completely self-sufficient, with an integrated rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack and a CO2 conditioning system that relies on dry-ice sublimation.

The Cellbox Go prevents losses in cell quality, cell viability and valuable time introduced by freeze-thaw cycles that are a routine part of cryogenic shipping. Data logs of the internal conditions are continuously collected and can easily be exported to a smart device (iOs and Android) with Bluetooth connectivity using our Cellbox Go App.

Specially developed for the transport of sensitive cells and cell cultures, the Cellbox Go is ideal for:

  • iPSC’s and iPSC-derived cells, such as sensory neurons, microglia and cardiomyocytes. Cells can be transported under laboratory conditions, in the Cellbox while avoiding unwanted changes in metabolism, gene expression and protein profiles.
  • Long-term cell storage and biobanks can benefit from receiving fresh material and performing the cryopreservation in-house. Recipients can benefit from the Cellbox by receiving thawed and recovered cells from a biobank, ready-to-use.
  • Lab-on-a-Chip or Tissue-on-a-Chip products can be seeded with living cells before shipping under laboratory conditions in the Cellbox.

Resources

Efficient cell transport with lab-standard incubation conditions, optimised runtime and worry-free mobility:

• Active Control: Maintains precise temperature (18°C–40°C) and CO₂ levels (0–18%) during transit.

• External Gas Mix Supply: Preconditioning via various gas mixtures for special biological applications (e.g. hypoxia in IVF).

• Long-Lasting Power: Operates up to 12 hours on a rechargeable battery, with CO₂ supplies lasting up to 72 hours.

• Power: Reverse charging functionality in emergency situations and prolong battery runtime if needed by self-executable battery exchange.

• Data Logging: Monitor crucial parameters on the device GUI and log transport and cultivation parameters to ensure, proof & evaluate for optimal transport conditions, – export them via various end user devices through Wi-Fi Connect.

Cellbox is a valuable transportation tool to enhance your Bio Assays, Cell Manufacturing, Cell Storage, and 3D Cell Culture processes. For an updated list of user cases see Applications | Cellbox Solutions

What is Cellbox?

Cellbox is a portable incubator with warm chain logistics technology that enables transport of sensitive cells at physiological temperatures rather than freezing, preserving cell quality while eliminating costly freezing/thawing protocols. It offers a CO2 regulation system and comprehensive data logging in two versions: a heavier shipper for long-distance applications with 48-hour battery runtime, and the lighter Cellbox Go with 12-hour battery runtime featuring easily exchangeable batteries.

How can Cellbox save time and money?

While initial transport costs are similar between cryopreservation and Cellbox, the elimination of freezing/thawing protocols saves significant time and manpower, especially valuable in GMP environments. Given Cryopreservation is notoriously damaging to cells, Cellbox is superior with cell survival.

Why should I use Cellbox over conventional transport methods?

Cellbox offers significant advantages over conventional transport methods with freezing and thawing cycles, which prolong processing time. It enables direct quality checks by allowing cells to be placed directly in an incubator rather than requiring freezing. Cells proliferate during transport and are ready immediately upon arrival.

Can Cellbox be used for clinical trials and cell therapies?

Yes. Cellbox is uniquely suited for cell therapies and clinical trials. It enables decentralisation of multicentric trials, which is particularly valuable for overcoming patient recruitment obstacles across multiple locations.

Can I have a demonstration or free trial of the Cellbox?

Yes. We can offer free trial use of the Cellbox to demonstrate its long-term value and how it helps reduce costs by ensuring sample integrity. Contact us to arrange a trial.
