| Today’s pharmaceutical companies, contract research
organisations (CROs) and drug distributors face everincreasing
challenges in maintaining the stability and
validity of their products in transit. With clinical trials
being conducted in new markets and a wide range of
countries, the logistics involved in delivering time-critical
and temperature controlled investigational medicinal
products (IMP) within stability becomes even more
challenging. The specialist biopharmaceutical courier
companies have risen to this challenge and developed
a range of solutions to meet these challenges.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED VEHICLE
Temperature controlled vehicles (TCVs)
are capable of maintaining a range of
temperatures during transit from -25°C
up to +20°C through the use of on-board
refrigeration and air conditioning units
which heat or chill the air in the insulated
cargo compartment of the vehicle to the
temperature set. Clinical trial medicines
that need to be kept between +2 and +8°C
can be collected from the shipper, loaded
into a pre-conditioned TCV and then driven
directly to the consignee anywhere within
the UK, Western Europe, Eastern Europe
and as far afield as Russia. |
