ABSTRACT:
A system for freezing, thawing, transporting, and storing a biopharmaceutical material, which includes a container, a supporting structure, a temperature control unit, and a transportation cart. The container is adapted to receive the biopharmaceutical material therein for freezing, thawing, storing, and transporting, with the container also being receivable in the supporting structure. The temperature control unit has a cavity for receiving the supporting structure, when the supporting structure supports the container, and the transportation cart has a channel for receiving the supporting structure, when the supporting structure supports the container.
