A strategic distributor since 2008, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada-based STEMCELL Technologies markets more than 2,000 products to the life science research community, including BioLife's BloodStor®, CryoStor® and HypoThermosol® biopreservation media products. Many of STEMCELL Technologies’ products, such as primary cells and apheresis collections, are time- and temperature-sensitive, requiring cold chain logistics to ensure biologic stability and usability by end users.

Our customers count on us to supply very high quality, temperature-sensitive materials for research.
