When it comes to transporting cells, choosing the appropriate method is crucial, depending on the type of cells and the specific requirements, such as iPS cells, stem cells, or other specialized medical and research samples. At Amex Courier Ltd, we provide expert cell transport services utilizing two main methods: frozen transport and temperature-controlled transport, each tailored to meet different needs and conditions.

Two Main Methods for Cell Transport Services

1. Frozen Transport: This method involves transporting cells in a frozen state using either dry ice or dry shippers.

   • Dry Ice Transport: Ideal for short-term shipments, maintaining a temperature of -79°C.
   • Dry Shipper Transport: Suitable for long-term and international shipments, maintaining temperatures as low as -150°C or lower for extended periods.

   At Amex Courier Ltd, we specialize in frozen transport using state-of-the-art dry shippers. Our technology ensures a consistent temperature for up to 21 days, minimizing any risk of cell quality deterioration. We handle both domestic and international shipments, offering secure and reliable cell transport services.

2. Temperature-Controlled Transport
   
   Also known as “non-frozen” or “live transport,” this method keeps cells at culture temperatures without freezing. It is primarily used for transporting cultured cells and clinical samples where maintaining a constant temperature is essential. Using specialized containers, we ensure that cells are protected from temperature fluctuations during the entire transit process.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Frozen Transport

• Advantages:
  
  

  • Long-term storage and transport capabilities
  • Maintains cell stability during shipment
  • Suitable for long-term and international shipments
    
    

• Disadvantages:
  
  

  • Requires specialized containers like dry shippers
  • Additional equipment, such as data loggers, is necessary
  • Requires specialized handling and expertise
    
    

Amex Courier Ltd’s frozen transport services include precise temperature monitoring with dry shippers and data loggers, ensuring that the cells are kept at the required temperature throughout transit.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Temperature-Controlled Transport

• Advantages:

  • No freezing or thawing is needed
  • Ideal for transporting live cells immediately ready for use
  • Reduces the risk of cell loss due to freezing and thawing processes
    
    

• Disadvantages:

  • Not suitable for long-term storage or transport
  • More challenging to maintain temperature consistency over long distances
  • Risk of quality deterioration if not properly managed
    
    

Our team utilizes advanced data logging technology to monitor temperature during transit, providing reliable temperature-controlled cell transport services.
