This work characterizes and measures damage, due to dynamic mechanical forces during transportation, to cells packaged for immediate clinical use. Understanding this is important for cells transported in suspension and for cell types sensitive to freeze-thawing cycles such as stem cells.A vibrating shaker system placed in a cold room emulated cell transportation in cold containers where the temperature can be maintained at between 2-8oC. Cell supply from an established cell bank gave a controlled cell source and passage number. 1ml suspensions of cells with a density of 106cell/ml were inserted in 2ml vials with 10mm head space and were mounted on the shaker. Control vials were stored in the same conditions. After shaking, the number of viable cells, the total number of intact cells (viable cells plus those that are intact but not alive) and the ratio of viable cells to those in the control were measured. An automated cell counting system, the Cedex, was used to evaluate the viability of cells using the trypan blue exclusion method.Different approaches to mimicking road vibrations were employed to estimate ranges of vibrations which significantly affected the viability of cells. The initial experiment imposed repeating 20ms half sine shock pulses at 1Hz, similar to those caused by road bumps and drops, with no significant change in cell viability. A second experiment using a mixture of random vibration like frequencies however showed that only 0.1% of the initial cells survived and that the ratio between the viable and total number of cells was also low at 2.1%. A third experiment using individual frequencies from 10-5000Hz with controlled amplitude and acceleration clarified that significant cell death is caused by vibrations with frequencies in the range 10-100Hz and confirmed a decrease of viability for accelerations of the magnitude of those encountered in transport.
