Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]  
Discontinued operations Discontinued operations
As announced in the second quarter of 2023, the Company, management, and our board of directors (the "Board"), had determined that divesting Global Cooling and CBS (the "Freezer Business") would allow for the Company to optimize its product portfolio by focusing on its recurring higher margin revenue streams. Additionally, in November of 2024, the Company, management, and the Board determined the sale of SciSafe would further optimize the Company's product portfolio toward its proprietary high margin cell processing and other bioproduction products. In October of 2025, the Company, management, and the Board determined the sale of SAVSU would also fulfill its overall strategy to streamline its product portfolio to its cell processing products. The Company completed the sale of Global Cooling during the second quarter of 2024, the sales of CBS and SciSafe during the fourth quarter of 2024, and the sale of SAVSU during the fourth quarter of 2025. Accordingly, the results of these businesses are reported in the Loss from discontinued operations line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These changes have been applied to all periods presented.
Divestiture of SAVSU
On October 6, 2025, the Company entered into a Limited Liability Company Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “SAVSU Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and Peli BioThermal LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SAVSU Buyer”), for the sale by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company membership interests (the “SAVSU Interests”) of SAVSU Cleo Technologies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("SAVSU"), to SAVSU Buyer. The Company analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the sale of SAVSU and determined that the conditions for discontinued operations presentation were met during the fourth quarter of 2025.
The Company recognized a gain on disposal of SAVSU, calculated as follows:

(1) As defined within the SAVSU Purchase Agreement, the final purchase price was subject to working capital adjustments upon the close of the disposal.
(2) As defined within the SAVSU Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to provide a cash bonus to the divested employees with the condition that such employees remain with SAVSU for 90 days subsequent to the closing of the sale.
The Company recognized $1.3 million in stock compensation expense for the acceleration of unvested shares of all the Company's former employees that remained with SAVSU upon the closing of this transaction.
In accordance with ASC 350, upon the disposal of SAVSU, the Company assessed the goodwill to be allocated to the disposal group. The goodwill allocated to SAVSU was based on the relative fair value of SAVSU to the fair value of the Company as SAVSU was fully integrated into the Company's one reportable segment. The fair value of SAVSU was determined based on the enterprise value per the SAVSU Purchase Agreement. The fair value of the Company was determined by calculating the Company's market capitalization as of the disposal date plus any invested capital remaining of the Company, which included outstanding debt and financing lease liabilities, modified by an estimated market acquisition premium. Based on the calculation performed, the Company determined $3.7 million of goodwill was to be
allocated to SAVSU upon its disposal. The allocated goodwill was included in the carrying basis of SAVSU presented in the above table.
In addition, upon the closing of this transaction, the Company and SAVSU Buyer entered into a transition services agreement ("SAVSU TSA"), pursuant to which the Company will provide certain transition services, including payroll processing, bookkeeping and tax administration services, and information technology maintenance, among other administrative services, to SAVSU for 120 days. The SAVSU Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities of the parties thereto, including customary covenants that prevent the Company from competing with SAVSU, soliciting its employees or interfering with its business relationships for 5 years after the closing of the SAVSU Transaction. The SAVSU TSA has since expired pursuant to its terms on the stated expiration date. The Company has no other significant continuing involvement with SAVSU upon the expiration of its SAVSU TSA and related covenants.
Divestiture of Custom Biogenics
On November 14, 2024, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "CBS Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Company, Standex International Corporation, a Delaware corporation, ("CBS Buyer") and Arctic Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (doing business as Custom Biogenic Systems, or ("CBS"), for the sale by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CBS (the "CBS Divestiture"). The Company analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the sale of CBS and determined that the conditions for discontinued operations presentation were met during the fourth quarter of 2024.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a loss on disposal of CBS of $3.4 million and $2.0 million in stock compensation expense for the acceleration of unvested shares of all the Company's former employees that remained with CBS upon the closing of this transaction.
In addition, upon the closing of this transaction, the Company and CBS entered into a transition service agreement (the "CBS TSA"), pursuant to which the Company is subject to customary covenants that prevent the Company from competing with CBS, soliciting its employees or interfering with its business relationships for two years after the closing of the CBS Divestiture. The Company has no other significant continuing involvement with CBS upon the expiration of its CBS TSA and related covenants.
Divestiture of SciSafe, Inc.
On November 12, 2024, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "SciSafe Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Company, Subzero Purchaser Corp., a Delaware corporation ("SciSafe Buyer"), SciSafe, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("SciSafe Seller"), and SciSafe, Inc., a New Jersey corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("SciSafe"), for the sale by Sci Safe Seller of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of SciSafe to SciSafe Buyer (the "SciSafe Divestiture"). The Company analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the sale of SciSafe and determined that the conditions for discontinued operations presentation were met during the fourth quarter of 2024.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a gain on disposal of SciSafe of $28.1 million and $4.0 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the acceleration of unvested shares for former employees who remained with SciSafe upon the closing of this transaction.
In addition, upon the closing of the SciSafe Divestiture, the Company and SciSafe entered into a transition services agreement ("SciSafe TSA"), pursuant to which the Company is subject to customary covenants that prevent the Company from competing with SciSafe, soliciting its employees or interfering with its business relationships for five years after the Closing Date. The Company has no other significant continuing involvement with SciSafe upon the expiration of its SciSafe TSA and related covenants.
In connection with the disposal of SciSafe, the Company remains liable and responsible for the full performance and observance of all of the provisions, covenants, and conditions in one of SciSafe's operating leases. In the case of a breach or violation of any provision of the lease by the SciSafe Buyer, the Company is deemed to be and shall constitute a default of the lease provisions. Simultaneously, the Company received indemnification pursuant any obligation owed by the Company under this operating lease. This indicates the Company undertakes the obligation to stand ready to perform over the term of the guarantee in the event of the specified triggering events noted above, or conditions, such as breach or
default, occur. However, the non-contingent aspect of the guarantee enables the Company to recover any losses from the SciSafe Buyer. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of this guarantee is zero. The outstanding minimum lease payments equal approximately $2.2 million and the lease terminates in 2031.
Divestiture of Global Cooling, Inc.
On April 17, 2024, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the "Global Cooling Divestiture") of Global Cooling, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Global Cooling"), to GCI Holdings, an Ohio limited liability company ("GCI Holdings") pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated April 17, 2024, (the "Global Cooling Purchase Agreement"), by and between the Company and GCI Holdings. The Company analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the sale of Global Cooling and determined that the conditions for discontinued operations presentation were met during the second quarter of 2024.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a loss on disposal of Global Cooling of $8.9 million, and $3.2 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the acceleration of unvested shares for employees impacted by the reduction in force, as well as former employees who remained with Global Cooling upon closing of the transaction.
As outlined in the Global Cooling Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to indemnify Global Cooling for certain preexisting legal contingencies. Prior to the Global Cooling Divestiture, two lawsuits were filed by previous customers related to Global Cooling's commercial freezer products seeking indemnification. The details of each case are described below.
Other than the Company's requirement to indemnify Global Cooling for certain preexisting legal contingencies, the Company has no other significant continuing involvement with Global Cooling.
Global Cooling legal contingencies
As of the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a loss contingency for a $1.4 million claim in relation to losses a previous customer claims to have incurred. The loss contingency was recorded under the discontinued operations of Global Cooling as outlined in the Global Cooling Purchase Agreement. During the third quarter of 2025, it became probable this loss would be settled within the next fiscal year, and the Company accrued for the loss contingency upon the determination of probability. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the claim was fully settled for $0.9 million, which was fully covered by the Company's insurance policy aside from the Company's insurance deductible. Legal expenses incurred on the claim were immaterial.
