Regulatory laws that govern storage and transport differ from country to country. So, expertise in international sample logistics is as important as accurate sample tracking and temperature control to prevent unfortunate delays and sample loss during shipment.

In the cell therapy field, stem cells require a temperature-controlled, cold-chain transport system.
