Profile

BioLife Solutions, Inc.BLFSHealth Care

Sells CryoStor, HypoThermosol, CellSeal, hPL products, and thawing tools used around cell and gene therapy manufacturing. After divesting freezer, biostorage, and logistics assets, the business is focused on recurring biopreservation and cell-processing products.

Provides biopreservation media and cell-processing tools used in cell and gene therapy manufacturing. Current lines include CryoStor and HypoThermosol media, BloodStor, CellSeal containers and fill-finish tools, hPL supplements, and ThawSTAR automated thawing devices.

Usage is tied to therapy developers that need cell integrity across collection, manufacturing, transport, storage, and final-dose handling. Evidence in context is strongest around U.S. clinical-trial use, while company materials frame the workflow as supporting global delivery.

Recent portfolio work moved away from freezer, biostorage, and logistics businesses toward recurring cell-processing consumables. Operations are managed as one reportable segment.
