We knew there had to be a better weigh.
Built by lab people, for lab people.
Our founding team’s 80+ years of combined experience in IVF labs didn’t just teach us that current monitoring systems are too manual, time-consuming, and prone to failure. It also taught us the alarm systems on the market are too binary, and there’s more to understand about the health of our tanks. The CryoScout™ was built by lab people, for lab people, because we know the problems that need to be solved.
We care because we’ve been there.
Boreas exists through the efforts and ideas of a team of experienced lab directors, entrepreneurs, product and marketing experts, and logistics pros, bringing a vision to market that truly has the power to change lives for the better.
About Us
Boreas was founded by lab professionals with 80+ years of experience owning/operating fertility laboratories. The CryoScout™ system was developed while the founders managed cryotanks, identifying inherent flaws in the temperature-based monitoring systems commonly used throughout the industry. It was accelerated by two high profile tank failures in 2018 that resulted in millions of dollars in lawsuits and catastrophic loss of patient samples, destroying people’s hopes & dreams of having children. They developed and patented a weight-based monitoring system — the most reliable method of determining the evaporation rate of liquid in a cryotank. It can detect a failure up to 84 hours earlier than temperature-based methods, giving labs a data-driven solution to monitor their tanks, along with enough time to save samples from being destroyed.
We’d rather see lab staff performing the work that increases patients’ chances at having a baby, makes scientific advancements, and drives revenue for your lab.
