Designed to reduce shipments’ temperature change during their transportation, the solution also allows customers to reduce their shipping preparation time.
Macrogen has used waterproof, insulated, shock-absorbing material to create Easybox, in order to enhance protection and maintain its temperature range.
Users can pack their shipments using dry ice or gel packs to decrease temperature variation, costs and accidents.
Macrogen CEO Hyeon-yong Jeong said: “As Macrogen’s customer base is expanding from researchers to clinical diagnosis and general customers, the sample management of customers is ever more complex.
