BINGHAMTON, N.Y.

BioLife Solutions Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: BLFS) announced today that it has reached a key milestone in its strategy to begin positioning the Company for future sales growth with the signing of a two-year manufacturing agreement with Herndon, VA-based Mediatech, Inc., a leading manufacturer of cell culture media and reagents. Mediatech will be the primary manufacturer for BioLife's Hypothermosol® family of preservation solutions.

BioLife President and CEO John G. Baust, Ph.D., said, "As we increase our focus on developing new business and revenue streams, an outsourced manufacturing solution makes perfect sense for our organization. With its state-of-the-art, sterile-fill production facility and decades of experience in 'solutions' manufacturing, Mediatech can provide us a reliable source of high quality product and help us control our costs, which is important at this stage of our development. By outsourcing our manufacturing we are also able to concentrate our resources where they can bring the greatest returns in the near term.

"Mediatech is highly regarded within the international cell-based biomedical community for its reliability and quality products and we are pleased to formalize our relationship," Baust added. "Mediatech has begun manufacturing Hypothermosol, with first shipments to occur this month."

Founded in 1984, Mediatech provides the scientific research and biopharmaceutical production communities with superior products and outsourced manufacturing services. Manufacturing of BioLife's Hypothermosol products by Mediatech will follow current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) prescribed by the FDA.

We believe the promise of cell and gene therapies starts with the integrity of a single cell

Advancing the future of cell and gene therapy

The human body can heal itself. Cell and gene therapies are designed to augment the patient’s ability to fight disease but only if the living cells behind those therapies remain viable and functional throughout the production processes. At BioLife Solutions, our mission is to protect the integrity of cells and provide trusted tools, services, and expertise that can enable our customers to advance the development and delivery of cell and gene therapies. We believe the future of cell and gene therapies hinges on the integrity of every single cell and we are here to protect that promise.

We understand the technical demands of bioprocessing in this field, and our advanced biopreservation expertise, cell culture optimization products, innovative storage systems, and closed-system manufacturing solutions are designed to enhance process efficiency, maintain cellular viability, and ensure reproducibility at every stage. Whether scaling up from R&D, navigating clinical trials or optimizing cryopreservation protocols for commercial production, we provide the tools and experience to streamline your workflow and safeguard your therapies.
