BioLife Solutions to Supply CryoStor(TM) to Cryobanks International as Standard Media for Preservation and Storage of Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cells
Date:11/4/2008

Cord Blood Bank Sees Significant Benefits from Next-Generation

Biopreservative Product

BOTHELL, Wash., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BioLife Solutions, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BLFS), a leading developer and marketer of proprietary hypothermic storage and cryopreservation media products for cells, tissues, and organs, today announced that it will supply its CryoStor biopreservative freezing media to Cryobanks International, a Florida-based cord blood stem cell bank for private and public-donation purposes, for long-term storage of stem cells isolated from umbilical cord blood.

Umbilical cord blood, which is typically discarded after birth, is a rich source of stem cells that have been transfused in thousands of patients to cure numerous fatal diseases including leukemia, lymphoma, anemia, and myelofibrosis.

Cryobanks Chief Operating Officer Robert Gravely stated: "We are an AABB (formerly American Association of Blood Banks) accredited participating member of the National Marrow Donor Program and currently have more than ten thousand cord blood units available for unrelated recipients.

"We strive to continually improve the quality and effectiveness of our biopreservation systems," Gravely continued, "and BioLife's scientific data indicated that the use of pre-formulated CryoStor as the freezing media resulted in improved post-preservation stem cell viability and function. After conducting further evaluations of CryoStor, we decided to replace our internally formulated media with CryoStor, which is produced under current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and supported by a Master File with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)."

Donald Hudspeth, Cryobanks general manager, described the results of Cryobanks' technical evaluation of CryoStor: "As compared to our previous internally mixed Dextran/DMSO/saline preservation media, CryoStor improved total nucleated cell counts by 5 percent,
