The importance of cold chain management
The importance of cold chain management
Cold chain management is critical for pharmaceuticals requiring storage between +2.0°C and +8.0°C. Exposure outside this range can compromise product effectiveness. Manufacturers set these requirements based on stability data.
Cold chain management spans from manufacturing to distribution, through to patient administration.
Ultra Low Temperature (ULT) & Controlled Room Temperature (CRT) storage solutions
BS3 partners with Liebherr to offer ultra-low temperature (ULT) storage at -80°C for pharmaceuticals. We also provide fully validated CRT storage (15-25°C). All our temperature zones (2-8°C, 15-25°C, -20°C, -80°C) are mapped, validated, and backed by UPS and remote monitoring. These systems ensure compliance and maintain meticulous records for your pharmaceutical products.
Cold chain management breaches
A cold chain management breach occurs when the vaccine or product is exposed to temperatures outside the recommended storage temperature of +2.0°C to +8.0°C. A breach can occur during any part of the journey.
BS3 are experienced cold chain management specialists with the technologies in place to capture any anomalies and ensure the safety of our client’s products.
Cold chain packaging
BS3 uses a range of validated cold chain packaging or specific solutions as nominated by our clients.
A temperature data logger is commonly used in cold chain packaging, monitoring the temperature throughout the journey to the customer. When the customer receives the product, they check the logger to ensure the optimum temperature has been maintained. If the temperature is breached during transport, the product is quarantined, and the appropriate authorities are notified (supplier).
