Maintenance of hypothermic temperatures in the pre-conditioned container. Mean external (ambient) and internal temperatures of the conditioned container: A Styrofoam container was conditioned to maintain hypothermic temperatures, by loading with pre-chilled (2–8 °C, 72 hours) gel pads (6 no.s covering all sides of a small box holding vials of cells). This was loaded with alginate beads (without cells) in media, at 13–15 °C of the container’s internal temperature, packed, sealed and kept under transit (n = 10). Temperatures were recorded every four hours, up to 80 hours. **p ≤ 0.001.
