This article has 450 words and is a 2-minute read.
The Europe Biobank Week Congress highlights new developments and addresses key topics in the global biobanking and biomolecular resources field. It serves as a hub for professionals, patients and government representatives to come together, exchange ideas and gain valuable insights. Over four days, participants can attend inspiring keynote speeches, join in discussions, network with others and explore exhibits showcasing the latest technologies and products.
We have spoken with all of our sponsors for 2026 to understand why they value being part of the most important in-person event of the year for the global biobanking community. Here’s what MVE Biological Solutions had to say.
Company description
MVE Biological Solutions is the global leading manufacturer of cryogenic storage and shipping devices. For over 60 years, we set the standard for storing biological materials at low temperatures. MVE is the preferred brand for cryogenic equipment in various application areas, including biopharma, cell and gene therapies, storage of cord blood and stem cells, medical research facilities, government institutions, IVF centers, hospitals and clinics, and animal husbandry and livestock.
What new innovation are you bringing or what are you most looking forward to?
At EBW26, we are excited to showcase two significant innovations from MVE Biological Solutions: the MVE Fusion® 800 Series and our new Condition Monitoring Solutions.
MVE Fusion® 800 Series
The MVE Fusion® platform changed cryogenic storage forever by eliminating the need for a continuous liquid nitrogen supply. The Fusion 800 Series builds on that breakthrough with a more compact, space-conscious design — delivering the same trusted performance, reliability, and sustainability in labs where every inch matters. Powered by MVE’s patented QDrive™ technology, the Fusion 800 maintains ultra-cold temperatures without routine LN₂ refills or complex infrastructure, making it ideal for existing labs, restricted access areas, or facilities with limited floor space. Key features include a compact 32-inch-wide footprint, no routine LN₂ refills, energy-efficient cryogenic performance, and a five-year vacuum warranty.
MVE Condition Monitoring Solutions
MVE’s new Condition Monitoring Solutions transform our dewars into intelligent, connected assets. Smart device integration with our dewar lids delivers near real-time visibility into the condition of your samples through our mobile app or web platform — providing confidence and compliance every step of the way. The solution features two monitoring devices: the CryoBeacon, a Bluetooth-enabled device for on-demand monitoring via QR code scanning, and the SmartTag, a 5G LTE device for near real-time continuous monitoring with sensors for temperature, orientation, shock, light, acceleration, and GPS. Both devices connect to the MVECloud, a secure, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant platform offering dashboards, automated alerts, and audit-ready reporting. This integrated ecosystem reduces the need for manual checks, protects irreplaceable biological samples, and simplifies regulatory compliance for biobanks and research facilities worldwide.
