BioCision : What floorutions for controlling sample temperature?

A specialist in sample thermal management, BioCision designs solutions that standardise cooling, cryopreservation, transport and freezing of cells and biomaterials. From the bench to GMP workflows, its ice-free and alcohol-free systems (including CoolCell and CoolBox) deliver measurable reproducibility and gains in viability. Trusted by cell biology labs, biobanks and cell therapy teams, the brand safeguards every temperature-sensitive step — with ergonomics built for everyday work.

From a simple idea to a global standard

From the start, a simple conviction: thermal variability is the enemy of reproducibility. By turning that idea into practical solutions, BioCision quickly set standards embraced by research teams and regulated environments. The first milestone, CoolCell, replaces isopropanol freezing boxes with passive, sample-to-sample consistent cooling. Then came CoolBox to maintain 0–4 °C at the bench or in transit. Built on collaborations with cell therapy centres and biobanks, the brand now underpins major clinical translation programmes, with the same guiding principle: standardise the cold to secure reliable results.

Expertise and Areas of Specialisation

At the heart of their expertise: isothermal materials and geometries that enforce predictable temperature profiles, with no ice or fluids. CoolCell containers deliver a cooling rate typically close to -1 °C/min for cell cryopreservation, while eliminating isopropanol (IPA) and well-to-well variability. The result: more consistent recovery and viability, and simpler clean-up. On the bench and in transit, CoolBox maintains 0–4 °C or controlled ambient for several hours using phase-change elements, with CoolRack inserts for microtubes, cryovials and plates — ideal for QC, extractions or pre-analytical workflows. Together, these solutions cut waste (no alcohol, no melted ice), reduce procedural drift and provide clearer traceability for temperature-sensitive operations. That pragmatism — easy to use and robust day to day — has earned BioCision the trust of academic, industrial and clinical laboratories.

Frequently asked questions about the Biocision brand

Why is CoolCell preferable to an isopropanol freezing container?
It delivers a cooling rate close to -1 °C/min, without alcohol, with high well-to-well uniformity. Compatible with most 1–2 ml cryovials.

Does CoolBox replace ice on the bench?
Yes. It maintains 0–4 °C or a controlled ambient for several hours, with no meltwater or contamination. With CoolRack inserts, it accommodates tubes, cryovials and plates, including during transport.

How should BioCision devices be maintained?
Smooth surfaces, easy to clean with 70% ethanol, diluted bleach or non-abrasive detergents. Follow the IFU for compatibilities and maintenance frequency.

Are they compatible with different cryovials?
The inserts accept most 1–2 ml cryovials with internal or external thread. Check dimensions and choose the appropriate CoolRack insert to ensure fit and thermal conductivity.

What is the impact on cell viability?
Standardising cooling and thawing profiles reduces variability and promotes more consistent recoveries. Results depend on cell type and protocol.
