Mike Rice, Chairman and CEO, commented, "Our team produced outstanding topline results for the 2021 fourth quarter and year. Demand for all our complementary platforms continued to grow as we cross-sold solutions to further penetrate existing customers and gained new customers in the CGT and broader biopharma markets. Our acquisitions of fast-growing assets are driving growth and complementing accelerating growth in demand for our biopreservation media products. In particular, our ULT freezer platform team doubled production and customer shipments from 2020 due to COVID-19 demand, shipping nearly 8,000 freezers in 2021.
- ® systems, 11 now using evo® cold chain management services, 17 now using CBS cryogenic freezers and accessories, 159 now using Stirling ULT freezers and accessories, 14 now using SciSafe® biologic storage services and 12 now using Sexton cell processing products.
- ® or HypoThermosol® in pending cell and gene therapy clinical trials. To date, our biopreservation media products have been used in more than 530 customer clinical applications, up from 450 at the end of 2020.
