There are items that require ultra-special handling during manufacture, storage, and distribution. Care that is needed when dealing with something that is temperature sensitive. Vaccines are also usually stored in breakable vials so they need extra packaging to keep them from breaking in transport. Pharmaceuticals, medicines for clinical trials, blood products, organs, and biological substances, […]
Crafting A Contingency Plan Through Cold Chain Validation
Due to the sensitive nature of pharmaceutical and biochemical products, manufacturers and distributors are under pressure to keep these products within their recommended temperature levels. Failure to do so can result in loss of profit and even reputation. A lot of things can happen while transporting these products from the manufacturing plant to the distribution […]
Clinical Trial Packaging & Logistics
One of Sydney’s largest Clinical Research Organizations is now using CoolPac’s Polyurethane Foam Insulated Shippers to ship its research material internationally. Before CoolPac’s involvement each of their consignments required up to 12kg of dry ice as well as in-transit top-ups. With CoolPac’s involvement, the dry ice requirement was reduced by half and the need for […]
Cold Chain Validation, Essential To Quality Control
When it comes to cold chain distribution, it is paramount that all involved facilities and units maintain a stable temperature during the storage and shipping of products. Cold chain validation is a necessary part of the entire quality control process, making sure that each and every link in the chain is tested to comply with […]
Thermal Indicators
CoolPac is extending its range of temperature controlled packaging solutions to include Thermal Indicators. Similar to Freeze Watch, they are small adhesive squares that can be stuck onto temperature sensitive products to indicate when the temperature of the package reaches below 0 deg C. This competitively costed solution ensures that any quality issues resulting from […]
CoolPac Now Supplying Temperature Dots
We are pleased to announce that CoolPac is now supplying temperature indicators / thermal dots / temperature labels. These heat sensitive dots can be placed on your products or on a card inserted in the product shipper to indicate whether there have been any temperature excursions. Temperature dots are used in the food and pharmaceutical […]
Janssen implements re-usable cold chain eskies and saves the environment
In early 2010 the J&J plants that supply Janssen ANZ with product RISPERDAL CONSTA switched from sending Janssen products in large eskies to sending these products in envirotainers (an air cargo cold chain transportation container). This resulted in the Janssen Supply Chain reviewing the cold chain solutions we already had in place locally. Janssen ANZ […]
Ewan McGregor Cold Chain Mission
I recently watched Ewan McGregor’s documentary following the journey a vaccine takes along 3 of the world’s most difficult cold chains. It reinforced to me how vitally important our work here at CoolPac is when designing, validating and manufacturing our own temperature controlled packaging. Keeping temperatures of products between 2 – 8 degrees C for […]
Understanding Cold Chain Products
As the technology of cold chain validation has developed, so have its products. As more products come onto the market, it becomes more difficult to properly understanding your business’ cold chain system and products, and choosing the best for your needs can become stressful. As the leading supplier of cold chain technology within Australia, the […]
Blood Transport Kit
Blood products must be kept at between 2 to 6 degrees celsius. This can sometimes be challenging especially in summer. Coolpac have designed a blood transport kit that has been validated for more than 48 hours for summer and winter conditions. This is generally enough time to transport blood and blood products within Australia. Unlike some […]
