One of the world's largest biotech companies presented a challenge to Cold Chain:

In six weeks, design and qualify three low-cost universal packout boxes that will maintain temperature-sensitive products between 0°C to 10°C for 36 hours.

Cold Chain met this challenge for perishable packaging with three simple, pre-qualified molded EPS containers, all packed with the same frozen Koolit gel packs.

Cold Chain Laboratories' expertise in pharmaceutical, medical, and biotech packaging, thermal design, and project management fast-tracked this project for one of the world's largest biotech companies. Our engineers attacked this problem according to a detailed action plan.

1. Cold Chain quickly defined the biotech company's thermal packaging needs. Due to cost concerns, the biotech company didn't want the traditional sandwich design of room-temperature and frozen gel packs.
2. Relying on our detailed knowledge of thermodynamics and CAD CAM, our engineers created a unique design of a molded EPS container with carefully designed placements for frozen gels allowing the gels to maintain the product's temperature via controlled convection.
3. Taking it from the theoretical to the practical, Cold Chain Laboratories tested several iterations of its thermal designs and perfected the balance between cost and thermal performance.
4. This resulted in a simple universal packout scheme, specific to each of the payloads.
