Marken has launched its new BioSystem shipping system designed specifically for biological samples. The company designed a system with technology for prolonged temperature control, while also standardizing box size for optimum freight costs and dry ice use. The BioSystem series will be available globally and, according to the company, allows for universal standardization in all clinical protocols and supports all regions with one application.

The Marken BioSystem is designed to assure product integrity throughout the temperature-controlled chain in three standard sizes: 5Kgs, 9Kgs and 15Kgs volumetric weight. Each size is rated to keep biological products frozen for 72 hours or more. According to the company, the systems have been engineered to be environmentally friendly, validated to conform to ISTA 7E enhanced protocol, and are regionally IATA PI620 approved for the transport of biological specimens.
