Thermal Packaging Built Around the Therapy

The packaging system needs to suit the product, target temperature, route and journey time. CCT currently features CellBox, CCT Altai Self-Cooling, CCT EcoFlex and CCT Tower systems such as KTE and KT400D for cell and gene therapy applications.

There is no single format for every programme. The right choice depends on the therapy and the way it will move through the network.

CCT's engineering and quality teams can support design, testing and qualification. Its Thermal Services cover thermal design, qualification, analysis and ambient temperature profile assessment.

From Clinical Trials to Commercial Supply

Clinical trials can bring small volumes, changing sites and limited storage at the destination. Later, the same programme may need to serve more sites and handle higher volumes.

CCT has supported cell and gene therapy trials with qualified packaging, real-time monitoring and on-demand ordering. In one published case study, a biotech company needed to move an allogeneic therapy at 2°C to 8°C. The solution used a 72-hour qualified shipper, real-time temperature and GPS tracking, and a 48-hour delivery target.

This is why cold chain logistics for cell and gene therapy should be planned early. The systems used in a trial can affect how easy it is to scale the programme later.

Visibility Through the Full Journey

Thermal protection is only part of the job. Teams also need to know where a shipment is and whether its conditions are changing.

CCT's Digital Services support planning, tracking and shipment visibility. CCT MedAssure brings logistics data, monitoring devices, weather data and real-time thermal modelling into one platform.

This gives teams a clearer view of risk. It can also support faster decisions when a route changes, a handover is delayed or conditions move away from the plan.

For a high-value or time-sensitive therapy, that extra visibility can be important.

Reduce Risk Beyond the Shipper

Reliable cold chain logistics for cell and gene therapy depends on repeatable work at every stage. Conditioning, packing, storage, handovers and documentation all affect the result.

CCT's Cold Chain Best Practices and Consulting service can review packaging qualifications, SOPs, documentation, internal handling, storage, conditioning, distribution lanes and risk management.

This helps teams find gaps outside the packaging itself. It can also support a more consistent process as the supply chain grows.

More Than 50 Years of Cold Chain Experience

CCT brings more than 50 years of cold chain experience to life science supply chains. Its cell and gene therapy offering combines packaging, engineering, qualification, monitoring and digital support.

For teams developing cold chain logistics for cell and gene therapy, this joined-up approach can help connect thermal performance with visibility and day-to-day operations.

Build the Cold Chain Around Your Therapy

The right solution starts with the product. Temperature range, route, duration, payload, monitoring needs and scale all matter.
