What MVE Biological Solutions does

MVE Biological Solutions is a US-based manufacturer of vacuum-insulated cryogenic storage and transport equipment for the life sciences industry, founded in 1960 and headquartered in Ball Ground, Georgia. The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cryoport, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYRX), acquired in 2021, and is part of Cryoport's family of companies delivering temperature-controlled supply chain solutions. MVE's product portfolio spans stainless-steel cryogenic freezers (Fusion, Fusion 800, HEco, HE, Vario, Stock, MVE Series), aluminum dewars and vapor shippers (CryoSystem, SC/XC, Lab, ET, Spectrum, Doble, Blood Bag, One Way Shipper), and a connected condition-monitoring ecosystem comprising CryoBeacon (BLE/QR), SmartTag (5G LTE CAT M1 with GPS), and the FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant MVECloud software platform.

The company's core technology combines proprietary cryogenic engineering (patented BEND DON'T BREAK™ impact-mitigating vapor shipper heads, patent-pending Vapor Shield vacuum protection, and globally registered patents on cryogenic freezers, shock-survivable dewars, and cryocoolers) with integrated digital monitoring for sample integrity. Manufacturing occurs at the Ball Ground headquarters and a Chengdu, China facility, with global distribution through direct regional sales teams covering the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific, complemented by a worldwide distributor network. Customer segments include biorepositories, biobanks, freezer farms, cell and gene therapy developers, IVF and reproductive medicine clinics, and animal breeding operations.

MVE operates an enterprise quote-based hardware sales model with regional customer service, technical service, and channel partner support, including up to 5-year product warranties. The company benefits from Cryoport's broader life sciences logistics platform, which supported 760 clinical trials and 20 commercially approved cell and gene therapies globally as of FY 2025.
