Live Cell Transport Made More Accessible
Flexible rental options of Cellbox™ portable incubators for ground and air transport of living cell cultures.
Transporting living cells requires more than simply moving samples from one location to another. Unlike many other biological materials, living cell cultures depend on specific environmental conditions, including temperature and CO₂ levels. Changes in these conditions during transport can affect cell behavior and potentially influence subsequent experimental results.
Cellbox™ portable incubators are designed to maintain controlled physiological conditions outside the laboratory, allowing researchers to transport living cells under defined temperature and CO₂ conditions.
Not every laboratory needs to purchase its own transportable incubator. Depending on the frequency of shipments, project duration, and available budget, renting a Cellbox™ system can provide access to controlled warm-chain transport technology without the upfront capital expenditure associated with equipment ownership. It can also be a practical option for project-based or variable transport needs, while purchasing remains available for organizations with a regular, ongoing requirement.
Preset or Adjustable: Different Configurations for Live Cell Transport
Different cell types and research applications may require different transport conditions. Cellbox™ systems are therefore available with different configuration options to support the requirements of the intended application. For applications with established transport protocols, systems with preset temperature and CO₂ parameters provide a predefined setup. This can be particularly useful when consistent conditions are required across repeated transports.
For research applications that require greater flexibility, adjustable configurations allow users to adapt the settings to their specific requirements.
Data Logging and Regulatory Requirements
In addition to maintaining controlled conditions, documenting transport parameters can be an important part of a laboratory's workflow.
Cellbox™ rental systems include data logging functionality, allowing temperature and CO₂ conditions during transport to be recorded and reviewed.
For applications with additional regulatory requirements, Cellbox Solutions also offers configurations featuring 21 CFR Part 11-compliant software.
21 CFR Part 11 establishes requirements for electronic records and electronic signatures in FDA-regulated environments. These configurations are particularly relevant for pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications where data integrity and documentation are essential.
Flexible Access to Cellbox™ Technology
Cellbox Solutions offers its portable incubators for rent, with rental periods depending on the selected system. Cellbox™ Go and Cellbox™ Shipper are available for rental in configurations for ground and air transport. For customers who prefer to own their equipment, three selected Cellbox™ models are also available for purchase.
Rental provides laboratories, research institutions, and biotechnology companies with access to controlled warm-chain transport technology for individual projects, temporary applications, or longer-term use—without the need to purchase and maintain their own equipment.
Throughout the rental period, Cellbox Solutions guarantees the operational performance of the rented equipment. If a device fails to function as intended, it will be replaced. For long-term rentals, Cellbox Solutions also arranges periodic inspections and maintenance to support continued operational readiness.
