Abstract: An envelope is configured to hold, support, and protect an article such as a blood bag during transportation under fic temperatures. The envelope includes a single piece component (e.g., a monolithic component), including multiple panels that are configured to fold to form an enclosure that surrounds the article such as the blood bag for support and protection of the article such as the blood bag.

Abstract: A carrying bag for transporting biomaterials can comprise a plurality of pockets. Each of the plurality of pockets can be coupled to an adjacent of the plurality of pockets. Based on a configuration of the plurality of pockets, an interstitial void of flexible dimension can be disposed between adjacent pockets in the plurality of pockets. The interstitial void of flexible dimension can facilitate an open configuration that allows an opening for each pocket to converge into a respective cavity of that pocket.

Abstract: A temperature-controlled shipper may comprise a temperature-controlled enclosure, a tray, an outer enclosure, and a lid, wherein the tray may be securely coupled to the temperature-controlled enclosure to resist tampering with a payload located in the temperature-controlled enclosure. The secure coupling of the temperature-controlled enclosure and the tray may be achieved using securely fastened or attached loops on both the temperature-controlled enclosure and the tray, wherein each tamper-resistant tie is secured after looping through one loop on the temperature-controlled enclosure and one loop on the tray to prevent access to the payload.

Abstract: Hardened reusable shipping containers (e.g., shippers) are disclosed herein. A shipper may have a base enclosure that is configured to receive a payload and maintain a temperature of an environment surrounding the payload. The shipper may have various features such as bosses, compartments, and surface features to facilitate protection of a dewar inside the base enclosure, and retention of a payload during shipment. The shipper may have various features to facilitate ready stacking of shippers and suitability for use in air cargo operations.

Abstract: Hardened reusable shipping containers with a reversible label holder and methods of using the same are disclosed herein. A hardened reusable shipping container may have a base enclosure having a payload area that is configured to receive a payload and maintain a temperature of an environment surrounding the payload. The base enclosure may further have an exterior surrounding the payload area. The exterior may include multiple walls. One of the multiple walls may define a recess. The hardened reusable shipping container may have a plate having a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface. The plate may be configured to be removably inserted into the recess and display one or more visuals on at least one of the first surface and the second surface.

Abstract: A system for recalibrating a temperature reading of a dewar includes a vapor plug and an electronic device. The vapor plug includes a vapor plug cover, a neck extending from the vapor plug cover, and a sensor positioned on the neck. The neck is configured to be inserted into an opening of the dewar. The sensor is configured to detect at least one parameter associated with the dewar. The electronic device is in communication with the sensor, and is configured to receive, recalibrate, and transmit the at least one parameter from the sensor.

Abstract: In general, one aspect of the subject matter described in this specification is embodied in a rack system. The rack system includes a first stackable rack and a second stackable rack. The first stackable rack includes a top ceiling, a bottom surface, a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The second stackable rack includes a top ceiling, a bottom surface, a first sidewall, a second sidewall and a shelf. The top ceiling, the bottom surface, the first sidewall, the second sidewall and the shelf of the second stackable rack define a first compartment and a second compartment. The bottom surface of the first stackable rack is slidably coupled with the top ceiling of the second stackable rack.

Abstract: In general, one aspect of the subject matter described in this specification is embodied in a latch. The latch includes a ball joint. The ball joint includes a stem and a first ball positioned at a proximal end of the stem. The latch includes a casing that is configured to surround a portion of the stem and the first ball and secures the ball joint within an enclosure. The latch further includes a cap plate. The cap plate has a recess or cup that receives the first ball of the ball joint and allows the first ball to swivel within the recess or cup.

Abstract: Methods, systems, devices and/or apparatuses for a shipping container are provided herein. The shipping container includes an outer enclosure having a cavity. The shipping container includes an inner enclosure positioned within the cavity of the outer enclosure. The inner enclosure has multiple panels and various configurations. Phase-change material inserts may be received within the multiple panels. The inner enclosure defines a payload area that is configured to hold a payload.

Abstract: Methods, systems, devices and/or apparatuses for a hardened reusable shipping container. The hardened reusable shipping container includes a lid. The lid is configured to be opened and closed. The hardened reusable shipping container includes a base enclosure. The base enclosure is coupled to the lid and has a payload area. The payload area is configured to receive a payload and maintain a temperature of an environment surrounding the payload. The hardened reusable shipping container includes an insert. The insert is configured to be positioned within the payload area to cool or maintain the temperature of the environment surrounding the payload.
