Reduce the risk of temperature excursions with savENRG® PCM Packs

What happens when samples are exposed to extreme temperatures?

1. Delay of frozen samples shipped on dry-icePackages shipped on dry ice must be marked with a hazard label. The carrier generally will apply a dry ice surcharge. Also, most airlines have a restriction on how much dry ice is allowed onboard while freighters may carry more than passenger aircraft. Improper packaging of samples and restrictions on dry ice loading on airlines can lead to samples stranded on the tarmac. This can ultimately result in a delay in providing healthcare and increased cost in procuring another sample.

2. Freezing of refrigerated and controlled room temperature (CRT) samplesRefrigerated and CRT samples can easily damage if frozen. Long exposure to winter ambient temperatures and freezing temperatures in airline cargo sections can reduce the temperature of refrigerated samples well below freezing.
