A single temperature excursion in the cold chain doesn’t translate to a spoiled product. Loss of product stability is a result of not one, but several temperature excursions. It’s not the occurrence of an excursion that dictates the result. Rather it is the frequency and severity of the event. For Read more…
Before there were any cold chain studies in Europe, people had always attributed some cold chain failures such as spoiled products to the inaccuracies in management and logistics and not to the climate. It was previously assumed that a temperate climate contributed less harm to cold chain products as they Read more…
Which vaccine carrier and containers are best for their price? To deliver vaccines safely, they need to be stored and transported in containers that can maintain a stable cold life. An inconsistent cooling could lead to temperature excursions or temperatures going beyond the safe range, which can accelerate the loss Read more…
Is it safe to cool water packs and vaccines together in the same refrigerator? The World Health Organization (WHO) maintains that cooling water packs requires separate refrigerators. The reason is warm or cold water packs can affect the temperature of the vaccines. When vaccines’ temperature shifts from the acceptable range, Read more…
Monitoring solutions play a larger role in the cold chain than any other type of supply chain. They ensure that products are safe, and fresh, under strict temperature requirements. Without monitoring, most products could lose effectivenessand potentially endanger someone’s life. As the cold chain business rises in demand, so does the need Read more…
Visibility helps improve performance in the supply chain. Not all companies, however, have these solutions integrated into the business process. In fact, more than half of the global pharma and logistics companies employ only partial visibility solutions. Ensuring visibility while maintaining desired temperatures across all points of the supply chain is a Read more…
We all know how difficult it is to transport delicate and sensitive drugs and vaccines. No matter how difficult, it is necessary, nonetheless. Patients need these products. To receive them, patients rely on pharma and logistics companies. Maintaining cold temperatures is challenging. Problems and failures are bound to happen. To prevent these, Read more…
When it comes to delivery, people don’t care much about the planes, trains, and ships involved in the process. What they do mind is how immediate a product reaches their hands. Whether that’s from an online store or at the shelf in a physical store — they only evaluate the Read more…
How do water-packs and vial location in packaging affect the freezing of vaccines? This article examines the best practices to avoid freezing. The risk of freezing adds a burden to the already complicated cold chain. The cold chain requires that all vaccines be refrigerated, from manufacturing to administration because heat Read more…
A large percentage of cold chain products go to waste every year. It’s true that the cold chain is a difficult process, and refrigeration of products throughout the supply chain requires significant effort and expense. Sometimes wastages are caused by inconsistencies in the system – some aspects of the cold Read more…
