Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need a license to heat seal human or animal remains?
    Yes. You most definitely need a license and that licensing is provided when you purchase one of our BioSeal Systems solutions. The heat sealing of human and animal remains is protected by U.S. Patent #5,659,933.
  • Do I need a special sealing machine?
    Yes. You must use the handheld heat sealer included in our BioSeal Systems. It has been specifically modified to work with our trade secreted BioSeal System material. Use of any other heat sealing device nullifies the license to heat seal remains.
  • Can State and Federal Agencies purchase the BioSeal System?
    Yes. BioSeal Systems and pricing can be found in the GSA Advantage Catalog. Simply type “BioSeal” into the search box or search for our GSA contract number, which is “GS–07F–0431K”. Our Department of Defense contract number is: SP0200-08-H-0055.
  • Are you a “sole–source provider”?
    Yes. We are the only providers of an approved, licensed process for the Biosafety Level 4 heat sealing of human remains. We have no competitors. This is a great benefit to government agencies because it significantly accelerates the procurement cycle.
