Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We
refer
to the registration statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), filed by Cryoport, Inc.,
a
Nevada corporation (the "Company"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on November 13, 2007.
We
have
examined the originals, photocopies, certified copies or other evidence of
such
records of the Company, certificates of officers of the Company and public
officials, and other documents as we have deemed relevant and necessary as
a
basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In such examination, we have
assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as certified copies or photocopies and the authenticity of
the
originals of such latter documents.
Based
on
our examination mentioned above, we are of the opinion that the securities
being
registered to be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement are duly authorized
and will be, when sold in the manner described in the Registration Statement,
legally and validly issued, and fully paid and nonassessable.
We
hereby
consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration
Statement. In giving the foregoing consent, we do not hereby admit that we
are
in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the

Very
truly yours,
