Cold chain distribution in relation to the pharmaceutical and biotech industry has often been perceived as the less glamorous and 'latent' service that is allied to this business sector. However, the importance of ensuring that a temperature-sensitive medicinal product reaches the end-user without compromising integrity and efficacy is paramount. It is therefore not strange that awareness, comprehension and advances are continually on the increase due to the pro-active actions of service providers, that is, manufacturers of designed insulated shipping systems and part/fully active shipping systems.

It is estimated that the growth of such products is in the region of 15 per cent per year.
