Cryo Store bv is based in the Netherlands and specialises in biobanking, packaging and logistics of temperature sensitive products and samples of various nature.

Founded in 1999, today Cryo Store bv has become a trusted, full service partner for many pharmaceutical, biotech, medical and food companies.

Biobanking

Cryo Store is a specialist in storing biological materials or products, long-term as well as for distribution to your collaborators or customers. Cryo Store started over ten years ago with biobanking of samples for pharmaceutical and medical companies.

Cryo Store's storage capabilities are located in a special secured area, only accessible for trained employees. Our systems are all about safety and keeping the right environment, equipped with all required back-up systems and data management. We store samples from -196°C to room temperature.

Packaging storage and distribution of temperature sensitive goods

Being a packaging specialist, Cryo Store continuously looks for innovations in storage and distribution of temperature sensitive goods. Cryo Store offers various packaging solutions consisting of basic materials such as TCP, EPS, Biofoam® and cartons to provide the best option for your specific needs in temperature requirements during different transport times and costs.

Expandable polystyrene

Expandable polystyrene (EPS) boxes are well known and often used in shipping temperature controlled goods. EPS offers excellent isolation properties and has a low weight. We have a range of different size production moulds available to give you a wide selection of box sizes. EPS can be recycled easily and we can take care of collection of your used boxes.

Temperature controlled packaging

Temperature controlled packaging (TCP) provides superior insulation properties compared to EPS and Biofoam. TCP is a strong semi-rigid liner that will not crack or split if dropped, so your products are better protected. No production moulds are needed, we are able to design and develop a box in each size. Also, TCP takes less room as it is stored flat. Overnight shipments within Europe require less insulation, enabling smaller boxes to be used and conferring significant savings in shipping charges. Our unique design also allows products to be shipped at different temperatures within the same package.

Biofoam

Biofoam® is a fully biologically degradable EPS with similar insulation properties as EPS and we have various size boxes available for you. Biofoam is C2C and can be disposed as normal waste. For saving the environment and a green image for your company, Biofoam is the packaging solution for you.

Specialty packaging and logistics

In our range of packaging products, we also offer solutions for goods with specific classification requirements, e.g. special packaging to ship biological specimens/clinical samples under class UN3372 which comply with the ADR/ICAO/IATA P650 packaging requirements.

Cryo Store has over ten years of experience in worldwide distribution of biological samples, clinical samples, products for scientific research and other temperature sensitive materials. When required, our solutions are turnkey: we arrange pick up, pack and dispatch, with all necessary documentation to secure an efficient and timely delivery to the required destination.

We work closely with all well known couriers, like TNT, Fedex and UPS, with preferred services without dependency on one couriers' network. In this way, we can reach almost all locations in Europe within 24-48 hours. Our service can be extended to other locations in the world. Shipping details will be supplied to you in daily reports for full tracking and tracing by you.

The unique combination of logistical experience and temperature controlled packaging solutions makes Cryo Store the ideal partner for storage, packing and distribution of your temperature sensitive products.
