The following is some theoretical information on the heat transfer modes which can play a factor in cold chain packaging: Conduction: conduction is heat transfer by...
The nomenclature used for describing testing of cold chain packaging used to demonstrate its performance is somewhat controversial. Here we discuss Qualification and Validation, the...
Temperature profile selection for cold chain qualification is a topic of much discussion for the pharmaceutical industry. A temperature profile describes the external temperatures used...
Gel Packs are a critical component of a thermal system, in most cases more important than insulation, since they provides a source of energy (and/or heat sink)...
