Biotech 48-72 Hours

Biotechnology is the fastest-growing sector in the pharmaceutical industry. Vaccines, drugs and other biologics have revolutionised the treatment of patients suffering from some of the most debilitating diseases on the planet. As demand increases, so does the need to move thermolabile biotechnological products around the planet — inevitably, by continental air transport.

Tempack Biotech 48-72 Hours is designed specifically for this purpose. This laboratory-tested, pre-qualified, refrigerated shipping solution comprises a Polyurethane (PUR) shipping container complemented with an Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) isothermal box, rigid cold packs and thermal barriers. The combination, which comes with simple assembly tips, offers a superlative level of protection during air transit and preserves the integrity of biological products derived from sugars, proteins, nucleic acids, or live entities such as cells and tissues. To ensure patient well-being, these thermosensitive products are maintained at temperature-controlled conditions of +2° to +8°C, at any time of the year, from the moment they leave the manufacturing site until they reach their final destination.

Tempack thermal barriers help to sustain refrigerated package temperatures by prolonging the duration of the cooling process. The robust, reusable cold packs employ eutectic gel to improve thawing time, as they absorb heat and ensure a more stable temperature release.

The key to Biotech 48-72 Hours’ extraordinary thermal protection lies in its protective layered approach. But although the 60mm-thick PUR outer shipping container houses a second, extruded polystyrene box surrounded by the rigid cold packs and thermal barriers, the entire system is characterised by its light weight. So not only does this temperature-controlled, high-performance shipper combination guarantee cold chain autonomy, it actually maximises payloads, reducing volumetric weight by more than 30%. This offers a considerable saving in transport costs.

The Biotech 48-72 Hours single-use, isothermal packaging system for biotechnological and pharmaceutical products, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and clinical trials has been conceived to take useful volumes of up to 30 litres.
