vs
Cold Chain
Precise
Temperature Controlled (TC) uses a qualified packaging solution, which maintains a precise range of temperatures for a specific duration of time.
Imprecise
Cold Chain is an imprecise method of regulating temperature, using refrigerated or frozen gel packs to keep materials cooler.
Controllable
+15C to +25C: Controlled Room Temp
+02C to +08C: Refrigerated
-15C to -25C: Frozen
-60C to -90C: Dry Ice
No Control
No method of control.
Strong
Mitigate temperature excursions.
Limited
Limited sample integrity.

FAQs
Have Questions? Get Answers
What is temperature-controlled shipping?
Temperature-controlled shipping involves maintaining a specific climate environment for a set duration of time. Depending on what type of commodities are being shipped, different temperature ranges are required. Those temperature ranges vary and are often described as controlled room temperature (15°C to 25°C), refrigerated (2°C to 8°C), frozen (-15°C to -25°C), dry ice (-50°C to -90°C), or cryo (-150°C to -190°C).
How does BioTouch ensure temperature control during transportation?
BioTouch ensures temperature integrity through a dedicated fleet, high-quality packaging, geo-location, and temperature sensors, actively monitoring and providing economic value in medical kit transportation.
Can you monitor shipments in transit?
Yes, our top priority is equipping our operations team with dynamic data loggers to actively monitor every package in real time. When a package is getting too hot or too cold, data loggers will send an alert and our logistics team can take action. We utilize telemetrics to populate the geographical coordinates and internal temperature of each sender, employing a blend of GPS, Cellular, and Wi-Fi networks.
Do you have temperature testing capabilities for shippers?
Yes, we can simulate any shipping profile, including customer-developed extreme weather environments or industry standard profiles.
What temperature control packaging do you offer?
We offer a range of packaging options to accommodate all specimen shipping requirements, including refrigerated, ambient, frozen, and NanoCool (temperature-controlled). Temperature ranges vary and are often described as controlled room temperature (15°C to 25°C), refrigerated (2°C to 8°C), frozen (-15°C to -25°C), dry ice (-50°C to -90°C), or cryo (-150°C to -190°C).
What is NanoCool?
NanoCool is a type of shipper that offers 2℃ to 8℃ temperature ranges and covers durations of 48 to 92 hours.
