Cold Chain Technologies (CCT) launched what it refers to as the first solid phase change material (PCM) to maintain the integrity of drugs and vaccines during transport.

In early use by market-leading pharmaceutical manufacturers, the new Koolit® Advanced PCM Gel provides uniform thermal payload protection in a flexible, break-resistant gel pack.

This solution defines the new state-of-the-art for the safe shipment of drugs, vaccines and clinical trials. Gelled PCM delivers extraordinary temperature control, protection and efficiency.

Among its many benefits are the following:

• Because it’s a solid, uniform pack, it provides consistent protection however it is positioned.

• The solid material and break-resistant packaging virtually eliminate concerns about leakage.

• The gel pack’s modularity allow it to be used for multiple package sizes and shapes, and it can easily wrap around the corners of a product box. For the distribution floor, this means operational simplicity and flexibility. For the manufacturer, this means cost savings, as fewer PCMs and containers are needed.
