About
We are getting your cells home safely
Cellbox Solutions is a young technology company situated in Northern Germany that focuses on innovative logistic solutions for the global BioMed industry. The product, a portable CO2 incubator provides a safe environment for the transport of living cells and biological structures under laboratory conditions. The initial idea to develop a portable CO2 incubator was born at the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Marine Biotechnology and Cell Technology (EMB) in Lübeck. Back then, the scientists were facing a well-known challenge: they had to transport slices of cardiomyocytes and were in need of a suitable transport device that would allow them to ship the cells under optimal conditions, e.g. at 37° and 5% CO2. A few years went by before Prof. Dr. Kathrin Adlkofer joined the Fraunhofer EMB and quickly realised the potential impact that such an incubator could have on
global cell logistics. A team of dedicated engineers and biologists was assembled and a new development project was created; from idea to marketable product – Cellbox® . Within 18 months the first prototype of the Cellbox® was developed and ready for intensive trials. Today, the focus is on our Cellbox customers. We aim to find solutions to each and every cell transport challenge. We put strong emphasis on honest feedback, to continuously improve and provide the best customer experience possible. The development and assembly of our products were carried out in close collaboration with the Fraunhofer EMB and financially supported by the European Union – European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the Federal Government and Land Schleswig-Holstein.
READY TO REVOLUTIONISE
Cellbox Solutions was founded
At the end of 2016, Cellbox Solutions was founded as a spin-off from the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Marine Biotechnology and Cell Technology EMB. Anticipating the potential impact of the concept, Prof. Dr. Kathrin Adlkofer initiated the project to develop a market-ready product.
BETTER FLY YOUR CELLS
First prototype of Cellbox® flight CDI was launched
The Cellbox® flight CDI is designed to serve the increasing number of consortia, business relationships and networks operating across countries and continents that require CO2 conditioned shipping devices designed for long-haul international flights. This version of the Cellbox® uses dry ice as the CO2 source and was awarded an international flight allowance in compliance with IATA regulations.
STAY GROUNDED!
First prototype of Cellbox® ground CD was launched
Engineered to serve as a ground transport device on the road, by rail or by sea, the Cellbox® ground CD is equipped with a disposable CO2 cartridge and can maintain a 5% CO2 environment for up to 72 hours.
FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT
The best is yet to come
We work hard to constantly feed our innovation pipeline. Stay tuned for the launch of new Cellbox® ideas!

September 16, 2020;
4:00 - 4:45pm (CEST)
German Stem Cell Network
The German Stem Cell Network (GSCN) aims to foster basic and applied stem cell research in Germany. The conference will be held virtually from 23 - 25 September 2020 and will reflect the complete program of the planned physically GSCN Annual Conference.
International keynote lectures, concurrent sessions, working group discussions, two poster sessions, meet-the-expert-tables and an industry exhibition – all digital in 2020.
We are expecting a successful conference and are looking forward to see you virtually.
Forum Labo
A major scientific meeting: Forum Labor Lyon will be the showcase of laboratory innovations for 3.000 researchers, engineers, buyers and decision-makers from France, Switzerland, Italy and Belgium. The 2020 edition hosts the CLARA Forum, a forum that aims at all cancer-related players, no matter their sectors of activity and scientific disciplines.
Again we will be there with our European distributor PHC and we are looking forward to see you there!
