A portable blood storage device includes an outer housing an inner housing. The outer housing defines the structure of the blood storage device. The inner housing is located within the outer housing and has an interior cavity for storing collected blood and/or blood components. The inner housing has an open top to allow access to the interior cavity. The storage device also has an inlet duct and a return duct located within the interior cavity. The inlet duct is fluidly connectable to a cooling device and brings conditioned air into the storage device when fluidly connected to the cooling device. The return duct is also fluidly connectable to the cooling device and returns exhaust air to the cooling device when fluidly connected.

A portable blood storage device according to claim 1 wherein the inner housing is spaced from the outer housing to create a volume between the inner housing and the outer housing, the volume containing an insulator medium. 4. A portable blood storage device according to claim 1 further comprising: a shroud located across the open top of the inner housing and having a plurality of openings extending therethrough, the plurality of openings allowing access to the interior cavity. 5. A portable blood storage device according to claim 4, wherein each of the plurality of openings has at least one flap member, the at least one flap member preventing ambient air from entering the interior cavity from the open top and preventing conditioned air within the interior cavity from exiting the interior cavity from the open top. 6. A portable blood storage device according to claim 4, wherein the portable blood storage device is configured to allow the plurality of storage containers to hang within the interior cavity below the plurality of openings in the shroud. 7. A portable blood storage device according to claim 1, further comprising: an inlet docking assembly between the tubular inlet duct and the cooling device, the inlet docking assembly automatically creating fluid communication between the tubular inlet duct and the cooling device when the storage device is docked with the cooling device, thereby allowing conditioned air to be transferred from the cooling device to the tubular inlet duct; anda return docking assembly located between the tubular return duct and the cooling device, the return docking assembly automatically creating fluid communication between the tubular return duct and the cooling device when the storage device is docked with the cooling device, thereby allowing exhaust air to be returned from the tubular return duct to the cooling device. 8. A portable blood storage device according to claim 7, wherein the inlet docking assembly includes a primary inlet door and a secondary inlet door, the primary inlet door opening as the storage device is docked with the cooling device, the primary inlet door opening the secondary inlet door, thereby creating fluid communication between the tubular inlet duct and the cooling device; andthe return docking assembly includes a primary return door and a secondary return door, the primary return door opening as the storage device is docked with the cooling device, the primary return door opening the secondary return door, thereby creating fluid communication between the tubular return duct and the cooling device. 9. A portable blood storage device according to claim 8, wherein the primary inlet door and secondary inlet door automatically close when the storage device is removed from the cooling device, thereby fluidly disconnecting the tubular inlet duct from the cooling device; andthe primary return door and secondary return door automatically close when the storage device is removed from the cooling device, thereby fluidly disconnecting the tubular return duct from the cooling device. 10. A portable blood storage device according to claim 1, further comprising: at least one temperature sensor located within the interior cavity and measuring the temperature within the storage device; anda control module having a user interface, the control module displaying the storage device temperature. 11. A portable blood storage device according to claim 1 further comprising: an electrical connector in electrical communication with at least one temperature sensor measuring the temperature within the interior of the storage device and electrically couplable with the cooling device, the electrical connector transferring blood storage device data to the cooling device. 12. A portable blood storage device according to claim 1, further comprising means for securing the plurality of blood and/or blood component storage containers within the interior cavity. 13. A portable blood storage device comprising: an insulating housing defining the structure of the blood storage device and having an interior cavity for storing a plurality of storage containers containing blood and/or blood components, the insulating housing having an open top to allow access to the interior cavity;a tubular inlet duct fluidly connectable to a cooling device and extending into and spanning at least a portion of the interior cavity of the storage device, the tubular inlet duct bringing conditioned air into the storage device when fluidly connected to the cooling device, the cooling device being separate from the portable blood storage device; anda tubular return duct fluidly connectable to the cooling device and extending into and spanning at least a portion of the interior cavity of the storage device, the tubular return duct returning exhaust air to the cooling device when fluidly connected to the cooling device, wherein the portable blood storage device is adapted to be transported away from the cooling device. 14. A portable blood storage device according to claim 13, wherein the portable blood storage device is configured to allow the plurality of storage containers to hang within the interior cavity. 15. A portable blood storage device according to claim 13, further comprising means for securing the plurality of blood and/or blood component containers within the interior cavity. 16. A portable biological-material storage device comprising: an insulating housing defining the structure of the storage device and having an interior cavity for storing a plurality of storage containers containing biological material, the insulating housing having an open top to allow access to the interior cavity;a tubular inlet duct fluidly connectable to a conditioning device and extending into and spanning at least a portion of the interior cavity of the storage device, the tubular inlet duct bringing conditioned air into the storage device when fluidly connected to the conditioning device, the conditioning device being separate from the portable blood storage device; anda tubular return duct fluidly connectable to the conditioning device and extending into and spanning at least a portion of the interior cavity of the storage device, the tubular return duct returning exhaust air to the conditioning device when fluidly connected to the conditioning device, wherein the portable blood storage device is adapted to be transported away from the cooling device. 17.
