Viking, you are correct that Cognate had the services contract for cryopreservation and shipping for the clinical trials, but I believe they did subcontract the cryopreservation protocol to Biolife Solutions, and the shipping logistics to Cryoport.

There were pictures posted many years ago on Facebook of the shipping containers for DCVax, (which Linda Powers called R2D2) that were the exact containers that Cryoport used.

1.2 Cryopreserved Storage
 
In addition to the Manufacturing Services, Cognate will undertake the cryopreserved storage of DCVax® Products including, without limitation, the initial freezing of DCVax® Products, bar coding or other inventory identification, preparation for shipment and preparation for tracking as provided in Section 1.5 (collectively, the “Storage Services”), provided that NWBT pays for such services in accordance with Section 2 hereof.
 
1.3 Shipping and Distribution
 
Cognate will identify and work with shipping companies for the collection and shipping of leukapheresis liquids and tumor tissue to Cognate, and the delivery of finished DCVax® Products from Cognate to the applicable medical facility or physician (collectively, the “Shipping Services”), provided, that NWBT pays or reimburses all costs relating to such shipping and distribution, and provided that NWBT pays for such services in accordance with Section 2 hereof.
