Securing the chain of life: Coolpack’s contribution to safe logistics for clinical trials

The critical role of cold chain integrity in clinical trials

Clinical trials rely heavily on the integrity of biological samples. For example, numerous diagnostic and research applications rely on blood samples. Maintaining the cold chain when transporting blood samples is essential. Even the smallest temperature differences can compromise the samples and render them unusable. This can even compromise the entire research result. Traditional methods using refrigerated vehicles or specialized refrigerated shipping services are often expensive and inefficient for the small-scale transportation needs typical of clinical trials.

The challenge of cost and efficiency

In many clinical trials, the scale of transport of biological samples is relatively small, meaning that the use of large-scale refrigerated transport systems is impractical and expensive. This is where Coolpack comes in, with its practical, cost-effective and reliable solutions tailored to the specific needs of the clinical trial industry.

Coolpack gel packs: simple solution to a complex challenge

Coolpack’s gel packs offer a robust and easy-to-use method for maintaining the cold chain integrity of blood samples during transport. With a wide selection of sizes and temperature ranges, our cost-effective gel packs offer the flexibility to meet the specific requirements of different blood samples. This customization ensures that each sample remains within its optimal temperature range during the transport process. The cost-effectiveness of our products makes us an ideal partner for research institutions and clinical trial sponsors looking to optimize their logistics budgets.

Ease of use

Coolpack gel packs are incredibly easy to use. Simply freeze the packs, pack them together with the blood samples in insulated EPS boxes, and the samples are ready for transport. This simplicity reduces the risk of handling errors and ensures that even personnel without specialized training can effectively manage the cold chain.

Reliable protection

The form-fitting design of the gel packs minimizes “false air” within the pack so that temperature stability remains optimal throughout the journey. This design element is critical to maintaining the integrity of blood samples, which are often highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations.

Versatility and scalability

Coolpack’s solutions accommodate both small and large-scale clinical trial needs, with a wide choice of packaging options. Whether transporting a single sample or a large batch, Coolpack offers the versatility and scalability needed to meet various research requirements.

Your partner in ensuring the integrity of clinical trials

In addition to gel packs, Coolpack offers a wide range of other cold chain solutions tailored to the specific requirements of clinical trials. This includes EPS boxes, which provide an additional layer of protection and ensure temperature stability during transport. The combination of gel packs and EPS boxes creates a robust system for maintaining the cold chain from start to finish.
