Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 1. Organization and significant accounting policies Business BioLife Solutions, Inc. (“BioLife”, “us”, “we”, “our”, or the “Company”) is a developer, manufacturer, and supplier of a portfolio of bioproduction tools and services including proprietary biopreservation media, automated cell processing fill machines, closed system cryogenic vials, human platelet lysate (“hPL”) growth media, automated thawing devices, cloud-connected shipping containers, ultra-low temperature mechanical freezers, cryogenic and controlled rate freezers and biological and pharmaceutical materials storage. Our CryoStor® freeze media and HypoThermosol® hypothermic storage media products are serum-free and protein-free, fully defined, and are formulated to reduce preservation-induced cell damage and death. Our Sexton cell processing product line includes hPL media, for cell expansion reducing risk and improving downstream performance inherent with the use of fetal bovine serum and human serum, and CellSeal® cryogenic vials, which are purpose-built rigid containers used as a primary final package for cells used in research and clinical applications. These vials can be filled manually or with high throughput systems and automated cell processing machines that bring multiple processes traditionally performed by manual techniques under a higher level of control to protect cells from loss or contamination. Our ThawSTAR® product line is comprised of a family of automated thawing devices for frozen biologic material packaged in cryovials and cryobags. These products help to reduce thawing related damage to temperature-sensitive biologic materials by standardizing the thawing process and reducing the risks of contamination and overheating, which are inherent with the use of traditional water baths. Our cryogenic freezer technology provides for controlled rate freezing and cryogenic storage of biologic materials. Our ultra-low temperature mechanical freezers allow biological materials to be stored at temperatures which range from negative 20℃ to negative 86℃. Our evo® shipping containers provide cloud-connected passive storage and transport containers for temperature-sensitive biologics and pharmaceuticals. Our biological and pharmaceutical materials storage services provide facilities that allow for real-time tracking of biologic materials that can be stored at a wide range of temperatures. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect the Company’s net realizable value of inventory, fair value of warrant liability, valuation of market based awards, valuations and purchase price allocations related to investments and business combinations, fair value of marketable debt securities, expected future cash flows including growth rates, discount rates, terminal values and other assumptions and estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, estimated fair values of intangible assets and goodwill, amortization methods and periods, warranty reserves, certain accrued expenses, share-based compensation, contingent consideration from business combinations, and the recoverability of the Company’s deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance. The Company regularly assesses these estimates; however, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Basis of presentation The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by BioLife in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SAVSU Technologies, Inc. (“SAVSU” acquired on August 8, 2019), Arctic Solutions, Inc. doing business as Custom Biogenic Systems (“CBS” acquired on November 12, 2019), SciSafe Holdings, Inc. (“SciSafe” acquired on October 1, 2020), BioLife Solutions B.V. (formed on April 1, 2021), Global Cooling, Inc. doing business as Stirling Ultracold (“Global Cooling” or “GCI” acquired on May 3, 2021), and Sexton Biotechnologies, Inc. (“Sexton” acquired on September 1, 2021). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year. Foreign currency translation The Company translates items presented on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity, and Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows into U.S. dollars. For the Company’s subsidiaries that operate in a local currency functional environment, all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates at the balance sheet date; revenue and expenses are translated using average exchange rates in effect during each period. Resulting translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity. Segment reporting The Company views its operations and makes decisions regarding how to allocate resources and manages its business as one reportable segment and one reporting unit. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, reviews financial information on an aggregate basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Significant accounting policies The following describes an update to the Company’s accounting policies for investments. For a full discussion of significant accounting policies, including additional information regarding the Company’s accounting policies for investments, refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included within the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K. The Company classifies its investment in marketable debt securities as “available-for-sale.” Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains or losses recorded in other comprehensive income, net of tax. Gains or losses are included in earnings in the period in which they are realized. The cost of securities sold is determined based on the specific identification method. The cost of available-for-sale debt securities is adjusted for premiums and discounts, with the accretion or amortization of such amounts included as a portion of interest. Available-for-sale debt securities with an original maturity date less than one year are classified as current investments. Available-for-sale debt securities with an original maturity date exceeding one year are classified as long-term. Liquidity and capital resources On June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $47.0 million and $69.9 million in cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities, respectively. Based on our current expectations with respect to our future revenue and expenses, we believe that our current level of cash, cash equivalents, and other liquid assets will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q. However, the Company may choose to raise additional capital through a debt or equity financing in order to pursue additional acquisition or strategic investment opportunities. Additional capital, if required, may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all. Risks and uncertainties COVID-19 pandemic Our domestic and international operations have been and continue to be affected by the ongoing global pandemic of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and the resulting volatility and uncertainty it has caused in the U.S. and international markets. Many businesses and countries, including the U.S., continue to apply preventative and precautionary measures to mitigate the spread of the virus including government orders and other restrictions on the conduct of business operations. In the six months ended June 30, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021, we experienced supply chain disruptions due to the effects of COVID-19 on our suppliers of sheet metal and electronic components that incorporate semiconductor chips. These supply chain disruptions decreased our profitability as a result of increased supplier pricing and production stoppages. We cannot be assured that a continued or prolonged global pandemic will not have other negative impacts on our manufacturing and shipping processes or our product costs. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affects our future financial results and operations will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the recurrence, severity and/or duration of the ongoing pandemic, and current or future domestic and international actions to contain and treat COVID-19. The Company may also experience other negative impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak such as the lack of availability of the Company’s key personnel, additional temporary closures of the Company’s office or the facilities of the Company’s business partners, customers, third party service providers or other vendors, the inability to travel to market and sell our products, and the interruption of the Company’s supply chain, distribution channels, liquidity and capital or financial markets. Any disruption and volatility in the global capital markets as a result of the pandemic may increase the Company’s cost of capital and adversely affect the Company’s ability to access financing when and on terms that the Company desires. In addition, a potential recession resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect the Company’s business, especially if a recession results in higher unemployment causing potential patients to not have access to health insurance. The ultimate extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and its repercussions impact the Company’s business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain. However, the foregoing and other continued disruptions to the Company’s business as a result of COVID-19 could result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Concentrations of credit risk and business risk Significant customers are those that represent more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues or gross accounts receivable balances for the periods and as of each balance sheet date presented. For each significant customer, revenue as a percentage of total revenues and gross accounts receivable as a percentage of total gross accounts receivable as of the periods presented were as follows:
|  | Accounts Receivable |  |  | Revenue |

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, no suppliers accounted for more than 10% of purchases. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no suppliers accounted for more than 10% of our accounts payable. Recent accounting pronouncements In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sales Restrictions. The FASB issued ASU 2022-03 to (1) clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) to amend a related illustrative example, and (3) to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity related securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. BioLife Solutions is evaluating when to adopt the amendments in ASU 2022-03. BioLife Solutions does not expect a material impact as a result of adopting this amendment. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings and requires disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of loan origination. Additionally, ASU 2022-02 updates the accounting for credit losses under ASC 326 and adds enhanced disclosures with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings in the form of principal forgiveness, interest rate concessions, other-than-insignificant payment delays, or term extensions when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2022-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
