How we help Reagents & Clinical Trials find the ideal thermal packaging solutions
An unbroken chain is an uninterrupted series of production, storage and distribution activities, along with associated equipment and logistics, which maintain a desired low-temperature range.
It is used to preserve, extend and ensure the shelf life of products, such as fresh agricultural produce, seafood, frozen food, photographic film, reagents & clinical trials products, medical devices & diagnostics, and pharmaceutical drugs. We understand the importance of the drug discovery process and the need to confront problems should they arise.
It takes a pharmaceutical company 12 to 15 years to develop and produce one drug and costs up to $2.5b. If large pharmaceuticals decide to acquire a biotech company which has done the initial research, the process may need less time until the drug is released in the market, but a large premium is usually paid. After 4 phases of human trials have been successfully completed and the drug is approved by the sanctioning body (i.e. FDA in USA), then it can enter the market.
Reagents, are required not only for human trials but also for animal models which, if applicable, precede human trials. Reagents are usually transported in deep frozen conditions, whereas clinical trial drugs are usually cold chain, ambient or CRT products. If a margin of error is very small for transportation of pharmaceuticals, then for reagents and clinical trial products it is non-existent.
These products are still in experimental stages and ineffective doses of drugs could not only alter trial results, thus misleading the companies, but also may lead to disastrous adverse effects.
Our validated, GDP approved solutions, ensure the safe transportation of reagents and products to their end destination, over different modes of transportation.
As clinical trials are a vital step in finding treatment for diseases, we guarantee that the work is done uninterruptedly and as smoothly as possible.
Problems & Solutions
Problems
Handling of Reagents and Clinical Trial products are so sensitive & time-critical that temperature-controlled packaging design and transporting them in required conditions are very important. Creating any misleading assertations can result in intolerable situations. Therefore, the choice of experienced solution providers offers many advantages.
The temperature-controlled packaging design and application of solutions should be easy to implement without any confusing process.
Any time delays or extreme conditions should be taken into consideration in the transportation process and models has to be chosen accordingly.
Close contact with producer at each step of development and progress is important. Even after a solution is created, follow-up support for the team on packaging details is critical.
Solutions
Our validated and approved solutions maintain the specific required conditions within the required time periods. Based on our experience and long-term collaboration with both our customers and their 3PLs, we provide the right solution for uninterrupted temperature-controlled packaging.
Mediline Isothermal provides solutions and configurations provide unique features for straight forward, very quick and easy procedures to apply.
Our solutions can maintain the required conditions, starting from 24 hours until 100++ hours depending on the Frozen, Cold, Ambient or CRT conditions. We can ensure the safe transportation of our customers’ products, even to the coldest or hottest cities.
For configuration changes (based on season or requirement changes), we offer continuous seasonal and, if required, special extra training at no cost to ensure the transportation chain remains continuous. (unbroken)
