Medicines

For medicines with quality not preservable under room temperature conditions, refrigerating them at low temperature will retain their quality, keep them effective and extend their shelf life.  However, it’s a lot more difficult to monitor those conditions when you’re transporting medicine or other pharmaceutical goods. Cold chain shipping solutions can combat that problem, making shipping and delivering medicine a breeze.

Medical refrigerators are used to store many health-care supplies: blood products, vaccines, medicine, and testing reagents. Each has a slightly different chilling requirement. Vaccines are sensitive to both heat and cold and so need to be kept between 2°C and 8°C from the point of manufacture to the point of use. In order to properly store blood and blood products, blood bank refrigerators need to keep internal temperatures between 2°C and 6°C all day, every day. Some vaccines need to stay frozen, so medical freezers must maintain internal temperatures between -15°C  and -50°C .

Storage solutions for pharmaceuticals must be kept at the perfect temperature. The medicine can spoil, lose its potency, and do more harm than good within the body when it is not stored and transported properly.
