"Today, at the Phacilitate Cell & Gene Therapy World Leaders conference in Miami, SAVSU introduced the evo ACS™ and the evo DV7™. The evo ACS is a category-breaking 2-8°C shipper specifically designed for shipping apheresis collections of live cells intended for downstream manufacturing of autologous cell therapies. A smart system with thermal autonomy of 15+ days, the ACS allows cell therapy companies to safely source incoming materials globally while providing a high degree of supply chain control. Built for the challenges of commercialization, the ACS, connected to the evo.is, is "always on" and does not require special training or "button pushing" by hospital staff to turn the device on, as is the case with other shipping containers.

Bruce McCormick, President of SAVSU, said, "The ACS is a game changer. It gives our cell and gene therapy customers an unprecedented degree of flexibility in designing systems for their fresh cells that reduce risk, increase intelligence, and can scale through commercialization. With the current awareness of the impact variability of apheresis collections can have on final cell quality and therapeutic efficacy, we believe evo ACS will be very well received and preferred by the leading cell therapy developers."
