Abstract: Methods, systems, devices and/or apparatuses for a protective liner that protects products and/or commodities from cross-contamination during transport and/or storage using a cryogenic shipping container. The protective liner lines a shipping container, such as a dewar. The protective liner is positioned within the shipping container. The protective liner includes one or more tabs positioned on a perimeter of the protective liner. The one or more tabs are configured to interlock with a notch on an inside surface of the shipping container. The protective liner includes a clearance channel on a side of the protective barrier and configured to guide a temperature sensor lead wire.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring environmental variables associated with temperature-sensitive products during shipping may include sensors attached to or inside a container being shipped and a remote processor receiving data provided by the sensors. For instance, temperature and orientation may be sensed over time and a status associated with a temperature-sensitive product may be determined based on the temperature and/or orientation and based on changes in the temperature and/or orientation over time. In this manner, potentially deleterious temperature and/or orientation excursions may be predicted and monitored.

Abstract: A cylindrical container for holding one or more articles, such as blood bags. The cylindrical container may hold multiple curved article containers comprising the one or more articles arranged in a circle. The cylindrical holding container may embody a carousel shape for easy access to the curved article containers. The ends of the multiple curved article containers may overlap each other to nest into the cylindrical holding container. The cylindrical holding containers may be stackable. The cylindrical holding container may be placed in a cryogenic shipper or dewar, to secure and stabilize the articles within during transport.

Abstract: Method, system, apparatus, and/or device for drying a dewar. The dewar drying apparatus includes a heating element. The heating element is configured to produce heat that warms a payload area within the dewar. The dewar drying apparatus includes a controller. The controller is coupled to the heating element and configured to determine or detect a temperature within the payload area of the dewar. The controller is configured to control, using the heating element, the temperature within the payload area of the dewar to evaporate a liquid or a gas within the payload area.

Abstract: A storage container is provided. The container may be insertable into a cold-storage dewar or other cold-storage container and may have multiple compartments. A payload item may be inserted into a tray and placed in one compartment for cold storage. Temperature buffering material may be inserted into one or more other compartment to provide for increased holding time at or near a desired temperature.
