SkyCell, manufacturer of data-driven temperature-controlled hybrid containers for the pharmaceutical industry, has developed the new 1500F container, the eighth container in its product suite covering all temperature ranges for the high value pharmaceutical product transportation. The 1500F, which works across temperatures from -15°C to -25°C, offers a specialized solution for this growing niche market segment.
SkyCell’s solution maintains a steady temperature of -15°C to -25°C for more than 120 hours without recharging, enabling between 2 and 3 million vials to be transported in a single aircraft.
This container, built on SkyCell’s platform approach, is designed for strong performance with a lightweight design (only 470kg). The efficient design also leads to a reduction of CO2 emissions by as much as half, as the containers are built from a recyclable multi-layer material. This material absorbs impact and dampens the vibrations from aircraft and trucks that are—along with excursions outside optimal temperature range—a leading cause of in-transit product spoilage. This has led the company to have a verified product loss rate of less than 0.1 per cent.
