Spotlight
To Be Blunt
Needlestick injuries to healthcare workers are
surprisingly common. It is hoped that revised EU legislation, which will
take effect in May 2013, will better protect this group, and Mary Foley at Safe in Common explains why mistakes made in the US must not be
repeated. |

BioT ULT Transporter
BioCision
The growth of biobanking, cell therapy, and complex biopharmaceutical therapies like cancer vaccines has created a strong need for products and processes to ensure the stability of temperature-sensitive biospecimens. Proper collection, handling, characterization, packaging and shipping of these materials is critical, as poor sample handling impacts researchers working on discovery with patient samples, as well as clinicians treating patients with cutting edge therapies.
This white paper describes in detail the BioCision BioT™ ULT Transporter, the first-of-its-kind dry ice-based portable cooling system that maintains a stable -75° to -50°C environment for over 24 hours on one charge of dry ice, enabling reliable handling and transfer of valuable temperature-sensitive biospecimens as part of a larger cold chain standardization process.
