<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On November 1, 2019, the partners and professional staff of Peterson Sullivan LLP (&#8220;PS&#8221;), which was engaged as the independent registered public accounting firm of BioLife Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") joined BDO USA, LLP ("BDO"). As a result of this transaction, PS resigned as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm on December 12, 2019. On December 13, 2019, following the resignation of PS, the Company, through and with the approval of its Audit Committee, appointed BDO as its independent registered public accounting firm.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">The reports of PS on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">During the Company&#8217;s fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and through December 10, 2019, there were no disagreements between the Company and PS on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PS, would have caused PS to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its audit reports on the Company&#8217;s financial statements.&nbsp; During the Company&#8217;s past fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the interim period through December 12, 2019, PS did not advise the Company of any of the matters specified in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">The Company provided PS with a copy of this report on Form 8-K in accordance with Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and requested that PS furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree.&nbsp; A copy of the letter from PS is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.</p>
