The Cellbox portable CO2 incubator allows the transport of fragile and valuable cells from local university campuses to other cities or even other countries around the world.
Choice of two models:
- Cellbox Shipper Ground, is the first cell shipping CO2 incubator that provides lab-like incubation conditions during transport – by road, rail or sea. With an integrated rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack and a CO2 conditioning system that relies on disposable CO2 cartridges, the device is simple to use.
- Cellbox Shipper Flight, is a cell shipping CO2 incubator with IATA compliance. It provides lab-like incubation conditions during transport – by road, rail, sea and even air. Cellbox Shipper 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 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 App.
Specially developed for the transport of sensitive cells and cell cultures, the Cellbox 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.
