Can Southeast Asia meet the challenges for the COVID-19 vaccine rollout? In Malaysia, a 550km trial run was conducted in rural Sarawak on the Island of Borneo. The test is to see if the cold chain can handle the distribution of ultracold COVID-19 vaccines. Indonesian President Joko Widodo rolled up Read more…
Cold chains often deal with sensitive products like pharmaceuticals and medical products. This is why a minor error can lead to product degradation and significant financial loss. Exposure to temperatures that fall outside the allowable ranges can render a batch of products obsolete. Managing the risks and challenges in cold Read more…
Different Covid-19 vaccines are now ready for distribution. Vaccination programs from governments all over the world are in high gear. Pharmaceutical companies operate 24/7 to produce enough vaccines to inoculate people. The logistics of vaccinating the seven billion people worldwide is a gargantuan task. Almost every medical institution in the world 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…
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…
Cold Chains in the spotlight A race for a COVID19 vaccine is being run to determine who will make a vaccine available soonest. This where the cold chain delivery and monitoring systems will be most carefully watched. As soon as an effective vaccine is announced, following testing, there will be Read more…
A guide to the best practices and industry standards when handling temperature sensitive vaccines. The challenge in vaccine handling lies in its sensitivities. Because vaccines are temperature-sensitive and light-sensitive, the process of transporting and storing them is more challenging than other types of supply chains. Temperature deviations are the last Read more…
Spoilage from improper temperature control is the leading cause of damage loss of pharmaceutical products in the cold chain delivery system. Spoilage incurs major losses for the pharmaceutical companies amounting to billions of dollars every year. Improved monitoring techniques are needed to ensure that cold chain tracking measures are in Read more…
The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the way the pharmaceutical supply chain is being deployed to ensure the quality of medical products. It is augmenting the efficiency and efficacy of the pharmaceutical transportation temperature supply chain as it shifts to digital monitoring. The developing technologies help prevent spoilage of Read more…
