What Cryopoint does

Cryopoint is a privately-held cryogenic sample management and biorepository services provider headquartered in Brownsburg, Indiana, founded in 2011 by Michael A. Byers. The company operates from a single facility located approximately 15 minutes from the FedEx hub at Indianapolis International Airport, a location chosen for its low natural-disaster risk profile. The core platform combines liquid-nitrogen cryogenic storage with 24-hour video surveillance, motion-sensor detection, and real-time, uneditable temperature monitoring to provide tamper-evident chain-of-custody for biological samples. Under the Cryopoint parent brand the company sells B2B biorepository contracts and custom clinical/research lab processing services to universities, biotech firms, hospital networks, physician groups, and pharmaceutical corporations.

Cryopoint monetizes through a portfolio of wholly-owned sub-brands, each addressing a distinct cryogenic end-market. Cryocyte offers FDA-regulated, AABB-accredited private umbilical cord blood and cord tissue banking for expecting parents; Cryopoint Fertility Group sells subscription-based storage for embryos, oocytes/ovarian tissue, and sperm at publicly disclosed rates (e.g., $38/month or $1,700 for 5 years prepaid); SpermCryo is a dedicated sperm cryostorage site; and the related Tooth Bank provides dental stem cell banking. The company combines a subscription/recurring revenue model on the consumer side with managed-services contracts on the B2B side, and operates a fertility-clinic referral channel that drives bottom-of-funnel patient signups.

The company is HIPAA compliant, FDA registered, and AABB accredited, with medical and laboratory direction provided by Dr. Michael J. Bauer (MD, FACP, CTBS). It positions itself as the industry-lowest-priced full-quality cryogenic provider, supported by a 30% cancer-patient discount program and a deliberate single-site geographic strategy that leverages FedEx logistics for 24-48 hour nationwide sample shipment. The business is founder-centric, with Michael A. Byers serving as President, CEO, and Managing Member across all four operating brands.

Direct peers

• Cryoport: Temperature-controlled logistics and biostorage provider for the life sciences industry. Highly comparable as both companies operate cryogenic storage and shipping for pharma, biotech, and reproductive medicine clients, though Cryoport is publicly listed and substantially larger.
• Fairfax Cryobank: Specialty sperm and reproductive tissue cryobank serving fertility clinics and individuals. Directly comparable to Cryopoint's SpermCryo and Cryopoint Fertility Group brands with overlap on donor and patient fertility storage.
• New England Cord Blood Bank: AABB-accredited private and public cord blood banking service. Directly comparable to Cryocyte on FDA/AABB positioning and serving the expecting-parent segment.
• StemCyte: Combined public/private cord blood bank operating U.S. and international facilities. Directly comparable on FDA/AABB-accredited cord blood and tissue banking, with overlap on Cryocyte's positioning.
• Cord Blood Registry (CBR): Largest U.S. private cord blood and cord tissue bank. Directly comparable to Cryopoint's Cryocyte brand on private cord blood banking with FDA/AABB-grade processing, competing on price and quality for expecting parents.
• ViaCord (Revvity): Private cord blood and cord tissue banking service. Direct competitor to Cryocyte with comparable FDA/AABB positioning, serving the same expecting-parent segment at premium price points.
• Cryos International: International sperm and donor tissue bank. Comparable to SpermCryo and Cryopoint Fertility on cryogenic storage of reproductive samples, with overlap in serving fertility clinics and individual consumers.
• BioLife Solutions: Supplier of biopreservation media, storage tools, and cold-chain services for cell and gene therapies. Comparable on cryopreservation focus and customer base (biotech, pharma) though oriented around consumables and tools rather than storage services.

Broad incumbents

• Azenta Life Sciences (formerly Brooks Life Sciences): Large-scale sample storage, biorepository, and cold-chain services for pharma, biotech, and academic clients. Overlaps with Cryopoint's B2B biorepository offering as a much larger, established incumbent with global footprint.
• Thermo Fisher Scientific (Bioservices & CryoEM): Diversified life sciences leader offering biorepository, bioservices, and cryogenic storage solutions as part of a much larger portfolio. Directly relevant to Cryopoint's B2B pharma/biotech and academic segments, though not a specialty storage pure-play.
