Macrogen Launches 'Easybox' for Customers in Genome Analytics

SEOUL, South Korea–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The precision medicine biotechnology enterprise Macrogen (CEO Hyeon-yong Jeong, www.macrogen.com)(KOSDAQ:038290) announced today its new premium temperature-controlled packaging named ‘Easybox’ for customers in the gene and genome analytics service
industry worldwide.
The customized premium temperature-controlled packaging option was
developed by Macrogen, and its delivery speed and reliability were
enhanced thanks to an express shipping service by FedEx
Express (FedEx), the world’s largest express transportation company.
The Easybox,
which includes gel packs, packing instructions and other supplies based
on a customer’s specific shipment, enables customers to shorten their
shipping preparation time. Macrogen’s Easybox is designed to minimize
shipments’ temperature change throughout their transportation. In
addition, customers will have the peace of mind that they can track
their FedEx shipments over the entire journey.
To protect the content against external shock and maintain the
temperature range, the customized delivery package is made of
waterproof, insulated, and shock absorbing material. The packing
instructions guide customers on how to pack their shipments using dry
ice or gel packs to minimize temperature variation, keep delivery costs
down and reduce the risk of accidents arising from poor management or
overused dry ice or gel packs.
With the launch of Easybox service, Macrogen
has made it more convenient for customers by reorganizing its delivery
process management system for approximately 18,000 R&D customers in 150
countries. Macrogen plans on increasing its global sales of Easybox as
sample management is becoming more vital for Macrogen’s customers, who
are expanding from the biotechnology industry to a broader base of
customers.
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.” He added, “The
launch of this customized premium temperature-controlled packaging,
Easybox will provide greater convenience for customers and manage
customers’ samples safely”.
