Vehicles Outfitted to Mitigate Risk

Transporting cell and gene therapy materials requires meticulous care, and Cryoport Systems takes every precaution to minimize risk throughout the journey. Our Cryoshuttle® fleet is specifically engineered with risk mitigation in mind. Each van is equipped with GPS-tracked video surveillance and advanced routing software to optimize routes and minimize risk during transit. Additionally, each Cryoshuttle® monitors external conditions and the internal cargo area, allowing for proactive adjustments to protect sensitive materials. To prevent unnecessary movement or upset while on the road, every shipper is physically secured inside our vehicles. These innovations go beyond traditional ground transport, offering a level of security and monitoring that most couriers cannot provide.

While advanced technology is the basis of this service, our highly trained drivers play an essential role in maintaining the integrity of shipments. Each Cryoshuttle® driver undergoes rigorous, specialized training to ensure that materials are handled with precision, care, and full awareness of their sensitive nature. This comprehensive training, combined with the safety features built into our vehicles, certifies that materials reach their destination in optimal condition.
