Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure

at
the end of this letter.

FORM 10-SB

General

1. Pursuant to section 12(g)(1) of the Exchange Act, your

after it was filed. If we are not finished with the review by
that
time, you should withdraw the registration statement and refile it
to
delay its effectiveness.

2. Please include in your Business section the information
described
in Item 101(b)(11) and (12) of Regulation S-B regarding
environmental
costs and the number of employees.

Item 1. Description of Business

Overview, page 4

3. Please explain what a dry cryogenic shipper is.

4. We note you currently manufacture reusable cryogenic dry
shippers,
and your focus is to develop a line of disposable dry cryogenic
shippers. Please explain the various ways in which reusable
shippers
differ from disposable shippers, and discuss the development
status
of your line of disposable shippers.

5. Please disclose in this "Overview" section that your auditors
issued a going concern opinion for their report on your fiscal
2005
financial statements.

History, page 4

The CryoPort Solution, page 8

8. In the paragraph entitled "Smaller, More Efficient Packaging,"
please state the approximate size of your current shippers, and
state
the size you are seeking to develop them to be.

9. You state on page 7 a price range of $650 to $3000 per unit for
liquid nitrogen shippers. Please state in the "Emphasis on

you
could sell a disposable unit when developed.

10. We note the statement in the "Development of International
Programs and Markets" paragraph that your shippers "are better
able
to insure the integrity of specimens affected by unexpected
shipping
delays" because they can maintain a cryogenic temperature for up
to
10 days. We also note the statement in the last paragraph on page
7
that existing systems have a 20-day static hold time, but the hold
time is "significantly diminished" if they are tilted or
positioned
on their side. Since you are suggesting your products` 10-day
hold
time is longer than existing products` hold times, please compare
your products` functional hold time to those of your competitors.
Also, specify whether your products` 10-day duration is a static
hold
time or a functional hold time.

Financial Statements, page F-1

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, page F-6

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, page F-7

38. Based on your web site, it appears that your common stock
currently trades on the pink sheets. As such, please tell us how
you
considered those quoted market prices and the value implied by any
sales of your stock to unrelated third parties in:

* concluding that employee options granted were issued at or above
the estimate fair market value of your stock on the grant date, as
disclosed on pages F-12 and F-33;

* determining the stock-based employee compensation under the fair
value based method reported on pages F-12 and F-33;

* calculating the impact under the treasury method of dilutive
convertible debt, stock options, and warrants that is disclosed on
pages F-13 and F-34;

* estimating the fair value of the shares provided to the former
employee as a settlement of the wrongful termination lawsuit
disclosed on page F-18;

* calculating the weighted average fair value of the options
granted,
as disclosed on page F-20; and,

* determining the value of unexercised in-the-money options
disclosed
on page 38

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, page F-8

39. Please elaborate, for us, on why the fair value of the related
party notes payable is not determinable. In so doing, please tell
us
whether you could reasonably estimate what the fair value would
have
been for notes payable to unrelated third parties for similar
amounts
and with similar maturities. If so, please tell us why this did
not
make the fair value of the related party notes payable
determinable.
If not, please tell us: (a) whether you used the incremental
borrowing rate, as defined in paragraph 5(l) of SFAS 13, in
presumably determining, in accordance with paragraph 7, that the
April 1, 2005 lease, disclosed on page F-17, was an operating, not
a
capital, lease and (b) why this rate did not make the fair value
of
the related party notes determinable.

Accrued Warranty Costs, page F-10

40. Please tell us why it is appropriate to expense the costs
related
to servicing the standard the warranty as incurred and cite the
specific literature supporting this accounting.

Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies, page F-17

Operating Leases, page F-17

41. Please explain to us why your future minimum rental payments,
as
of March 31, 2005, for fiscal years 2006 and 2007 appear to
significantly exceed the rent expense for fiscal years 2004 and
2005.
In so doing, please clarify whether the rental payments in the
tabular disclosure are the same as the ones disclosed in the first
paragraph. If they are the same, please resolve the apparent
discrepancy between the obligations existing as of March 31, 2005
and
the fact that the lease was entered into subsequent to that date,
on
April 1, 2005.

In addition, please clarify whether the lease entered into on
April
1, 2005 is for the same Brea, California facility that you had
previously leased on a month-to-month basis with varying monthly
payments. If so, please tell us why the monthly payments appeared
to
have significantly increased. If not, please tell us the extent
of
the costs incurred to exit the previous facility and, if those
costs
were material, how you accounted for them.

Note 9 - Common Stock, page F-19

42. Please clarify what you mean by "pending reverse acquisition".

Note 10 - Stock Options, page F-19

43. As your disclosure on page F-20 indicates that the options
vest
upon grant, please tell us why the amount of options exercisable
is
less than the amount outstanding.
