Cartken, a leading autonomous robotics company, and Stirling Ultracold, a pioneer in portable ultra-low temperature (ULT) storage solutions, are proud to announce a groundbreaking partnership. Together, they are launching an autonomous solution designed to transport temperature-sensitive samples, reagents, and other materials across life sciences, healthcare, research, and industrial environments.
This integration combines the outdoor, indoor, and multi-level autonomous navigation capabilities of the Cartken Hauler robot with Stirling’s ULT25NEU Portable Ultra-Low Temperature Freezer, enabling fully autonomous movement of critical materials requiring storage temperatures as low as -86°C (-122.8°F).
Today, many facilities still rely on manual transport for temperature-sensitive materials—requiring employees to physically move samples between labs, storage areas, and production lines. Existing automation solutions, if present, are often limited to a single building or floor, leaving cross-campus logistics fragmented and inefficient. The Cartken-Stirling integration solves this gap by offering end-to-end autonomous transport across entire sites, including seamless elevator integration to navigate multi-level facilities.

“This partnership showcases how innovation in robotics and cold storage can come together to solve real-world challenges,” said Christian Bersch, Co-founder & CEO of Cartken. “It unlocks new possibilities for laboratories, hospitals, and industrial campuses needing reliable, autonomous cold-chain transport to streamline their intralogistics workflows.”
“At Stirling Ultracold, we’re proud to be the industry leader in portable ultra-low temperature solutions, and we’re committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation. Our partnership with Cartken and their autonomous robotics platform is yet another example of how we continue to lead the way in next-generation cold storage applications,” said Jason Gillum, Inside Sales Manager, Stirling Ultracold.
“Our robots have already transformed how leading pharma and biotech companies handle intralogistics-eliminating inefficiencies and manual transport of tools, materials, and samples across their campuses,” said Christian Bersch, Co-founder & CEO at Cartken. “But when they asked for a way to automate the movement of temperature-sensitive samples, we knew we had to push boundaries. This first-of-its-kind autonomous cold-chain solution is designed in direct response to industry needs.”
