Impact of Innovative Biopreservation Tools for Cells, Tissues, and Organs; Enabling Regenerative Medicine Product Commercialization Recognized

BOTHELL, Wash., May 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- BioLife Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: BLFS), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of proprietary clinical grade cell and tissue hypothermic storage and cryopreservation freeze media and a related cloud hosted biologistics cold chain management app for smart shippers, announced that on May 1st, it was named Washington State Manufacturer of the Year, for the small firm category by Seattle Business Magazine.

The Washington Manufacturing Awards gala was held at the Museum of Flight. The event attracted 300 business leaders from across the state. The diversity of this year's finalists —which included companies that make everything from RFID tags to bakery equipment —demonstrates the breadth and depth of the state's industrial base.

BioLife Solutions has built a franchise in the regenerative medicine market by gaining a critical mass of cell therapy customers including most of the private and public immuno-oncology companies developing various T cell immunotherapies to treat blood cancers and solid tumors. To date, BioLife's CryoStor® and HypoThermosol® biopreservation media products have been embedded into more than 200 pre-clinical validations and clinical trials of novel cell based products and therapies targeting the leading causes of death and disability. Through its biologistex™ joint venture with SAVSU Technologies, BioLife is marketing the evo™ Smart Shipper and related biologistex cold chain management SaaS app.

Mike Rice, BioLife's President & CEO, remarked, "This is an incredible honor for the entire BioLife team.  We're committed to doing all we can to improve biologic-based medicine. It's very satisfying to see our commitment to quality and customer service be recognized.  The other award winning companies are very impressive and it's great to be counted among these leading manufacturing companies in Washington."
