Pharmaceutical companies are under relentless pressure to reduce pharmaceutical shipping costs and ensure their products are handled properly throughout the cold chain. To meet the industry’s stringent requirements, AcuTemp develops insulated shipping containers that provide the Peace of Mind™ of uncompromised hold time performance while offering a low total cost of ownership.
Design & Qualification Services
Developing new insulated boxes or refrigerated shipping containers for cold chain shipping is one thing; knowing they will maintain The Right Temperature™ under every possible scenario is quite another. The critical nature of your products demands reliable cold chain solutions capable of precise thermal management regardless of the circumstances:
- Overseas transit
- Extreme ambient temperature swings
- Remote point-of-use destinations
- Extended periods without available grid power
- Military missions
AcuTemp’s sophisticated testing equipment and experienced technicians will work with you to test and qualify your existing insulated packaging to ensure it meets all your needs. AcuTemp will also work with you to develop and validate new insulated containers and thermal management solutions.
Testing and qualification can be performed to various industry standards including ISTA or customer-defined profiles. AcuTemp also can provide testing in accordance with MIL-STD 810F for military requirements.
ISTA Certification
A member of the International Safe Transit Association (ISTA), AcuTemp has a sophisticated, ISTA-certified test laboratory at its Dayton, Ohio facilities. This certification demonstrates AcuTemp’s commitment to qualification testing and to providing thermal management solutions with superior hold time performance.
Advanced Qualification and Testing
AcuTemp can test and qualify insulated shipping containers to any protocol. With its multiple environmental test chambers, advanced data acquisition systems and sophisticated control and analysis software, AcuTemp can confirm internal payload temperatures under widely varying ambient conditions. In addition, portable data acquisition systems allow AcuTemp to validate the performance of insulated shippers under actual field conditions.
All equipment is calibrated on a regular basis using National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable instruments.
Pharma/Biotechnology
Medical Device
AcuTemp’s ability to adapt to unusual insulated packaging requirements affords our medical device customers with the benefit of having fully customized insulated shipping containers. Not only do medical devices come in all shapes and sizes, they also have very specific thermal management requirements and may require very specific protective packaging strategies.
Public Health
With a reputation of superior hold time performance, AcuTemp insulated shippers, carrying cases, and mobile refrigerator/freezer units are entrusted to maintain exacting temperature ranges in the transport of vaccines, drugs, specimens and other bio-medical materials. Some of the world’s largest organizations rely on AcuTemp insulated containers to provide precise temperature control and superior hold time performance throughout the cold chain distribution cycle.
Military Medical
AcuTemp’s mobile refrigerated units are designed with specific military applications in mind. When it comes to providing reliable thermal management in the delivery of biologics and medicines in the harshest of conditions, even on the field of battle, AcuTemp delivers. Designed in accordance with the military’s strict standards (such as MIL-STD 810F), our actively powered insulated containers provide the superior hold time performance necessary for the potentially life-saving applications in which they are used.
Transportation Logistics
Designed to meet the most stringent air cargo shipping protocols, AcuTemp’s versatile cold chain solutions enable freight forwarders, airlines, 3PLs and logistics providers to ship temperature critical materials around the world with greater assurance than with any other thermal management provider.
