Cryopak, a provider of temperature-controlled packaging, released its newest shipping system, the STS Cat B. The shipper is designed to safely transport infectious substances under Class 6.2, Category B, and complies with IATA, DOT, TDGR and ICAO regulations.
 
Cryopak developed the kit to address various needs when shipping infectious substances including protecting the specimens to ensure they arrive undamaged, and protecting handlers from the infectious substances during transport.
  
Chief executive officer Maurice Barakat said, “The introduction of Cryopak’s STS Cat B establishes our commitment to reduce customers’ distribution risks related to managing shipments of infectious disease substances, as well as their total costs. Our goal is to facilitate the management of clinical sample shipments with a simple, easy-to-use packaging system.”
 
Cryopak plans to expand its Class 6.2 shipper portfolio to include Category A shipping kits — with and without temperature control — as well as other sizes of Category B STS shippers.
