BioLife Solutions makes sure your tissues and organs don't get freezer burn. The company has designed liquid media technologies for frozen (cryogenic) storage and cold (hypothermic) storage of biological products including cells, tissues, and organs. Its HypoThermosol and CryoStor products minimize the damage done to these biological products during refrigeration and freezing, making them viable for transplant or experimentation for longer periods. The company sells its products directly to academic institutions, companies, and laboratories conducting clinical research.
