Pharmaceutical

The cold chain is critical in the transportation and logistical organization of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, drugs, biologicals, tissue samples, clinical trials and other life science products. An optimum temperature levels throughout the cold chain must be kept in order to maintain the efficacy of the product. Any excursions may have costly and life-threatening consequences.

Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors must ensure highly temperature-sensitive product safety through the entire distribution cold chain. Real-time data on critical business processes forms the basis for increased profits and greater patient safety.

Hospital and Healthcare

Hospitals and healthcare facilities handle hundreds of perishable and temperature-sensitive items every day including vaccines, blood, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. These commodities must be kept at their optimum temperature for regulatory compliance and to prevent unnecessary waste of medication, while providing a safer environment for patients.

High temperatures have the potential to compromise medical devices and biologics. Capturing temperature history for analysis is profoundly important to minimize the risk of endangering people, as well as company’s financial stability.The cold chain of blood is a process which can help maintain a safe and effective supply. Temperature is critical for the safe storage and transportation of blood from collection to transfusion and temperature monitoring is essential during storage and transportation.

The blood in the umbilical cord of a newborn baby is a hugely important source of adult stem cells. Stem cells extraction and storage companies established strict temperature control on the transportation and storage of cord blood. If a temperature breach has occurred, it could affect the quality of the cord blood and the viability of the cell within. Best practices in cold chain management provides higher customer assurance and commitment. And, the customer’s investment is further protected.
