Features of savENRG® CRT Packs
Organic phase change material (PCM) for controlled room temperature shipping applications.
Tested for thermal stability across repeated heating and cooling cycles.
Reusable PCM CRT Packs offer an alternative to standard gel packs for temperature-sensitive CRT shipping.
What are savENRG® PCM CRT Packs?
savENRG® +18°C PCM CRT Packs are manufactured using OM18P organic phase change material (PCM) with a melting point of +18°C. These reusable packs absorb and release thermal energy as they change between solid and liquid states, helping maintain controlled room temperatures during transport when used in a properly designed insulated shipping system.
savENRG® CRT Packs offer an alternative to standard gel packs for controlled room temperature shipping applications, including specialty pharmaceuticals, diagnostic products, biological samples, and other temperature-sensitive life science materials. Their suitability depends on the required shipping temperature range, transit duration, payload, and packaging configuration.
Why Choose savENRG® PCM CRT Packs Over Standard Gel Packs?
savENRG® +18°C PCM CRT Packs offer a reusable alternative to standard gel packs for controlled room temperature shipping applications. Unlike conventional water-based gel packs that typically change phase near 0°C, OM18P phase change material has a melting point of +18°C, providing thermal buffering closer to the temperature requirements of CRT-sensitive products.
For biological samples, diagnostic products, pharmaceuticals, and other life science materials requiring controlled room temperature conditions, PCM CRT Packs can help reduce the risk of overcooling during cold-weather distribution. When properly conditioned and used in a suitable insulated shipping system, they help maintain the intended temperature range during transit.
CONDITIONING REQUIREMENT: Follow the OM18P handling instructions to ensure CRT Packs are fully conditioned before use. Conditioning temperatures and duration should be verified against the product documentation and intended shipping configuration.
Who should use savENRG® CRT Packs?
savENRG® +18°C PCM CRT Packs are designed for businesses transporting temperature-sensitive products that require controlled room temperature conditions, including in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturers, reagent suppliers, specialty pharmacies, and medical courier organizations.
These reusable packs can support shipping applications involving diagnostic reagents, biological specimens, medications, and other life science products requiring protection from temperature excursions. When properly conditioned and used with suitable insulated packaging, PCM CRT Packs help reduce the risk of overcooling during cold-weather transport.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do +18°C PCM CRT Packs protect temperature-sensitive shipments from cold?
savENRG® +18°C PCM CRT Packs help protect temperature-sensitive products from overcooling by releasing stored thermal energy as the phase change material (PCM) transitions from liquid to solid around +18°C.
When used in an appropriately insulated shipping container, the packs help buffer against falling external temperatures and reduce the risk of temperature excursions during cold-weather transportation.
This makes them suitable for controlled room temperature shipping applications involving diagnostic specimens, biological samples, medications, and other products requiring protection from excessive cold.
What is the difference between +18°C PCM CRT Packs and standard gel packs?
Standard water-based gel packs typically change phase near 0°C, while savENRG® +18°C PCM CRT Packs use specialized phase change material designed to absorb and release thermal energy around +18°C.
Unlike conventional frozen gel packs, which may expose temperature-sensitive products to excessively cold temperatures, +18°C PCM CRT Packs provide thermal buffering closer to controlled room temperature conditions.
When properly conditioned and used in a suitable insulated shipping system, these packs can help protect shipments from both excessive heat and cold, depending on the shipping conditions and packout configuration.
How long can PCM CRT Packs maintain temperatures between 15°C and 25°C?
The temperature holdover time of savENRG® +18°C PCM CRT Packs depends on several factors, including PCM quantity, insulated shipper performance, payload size, external temperatures, and transit duration.
When incorporated into a properly designed temperature-controlled shipping system, CRT Packs can help maintain products within the +15°C to +25°C range.
Akuratemp’s CRT packaging solutions have been evaluated under ISTA 7D summer and winter temperature profiles. However, actual holdover performance depends on the specific shipping configuration, and testing is recommended to verify that it meets the application’s requirements.
How do you condition +18°C PCM CRT Packs before shipping?
savENRG® +18°C PCM CRT Packs require different conditioning methods depending on whether shipments will be exposed to hot or cold ambient temperatures.
For hot ambient conditions: Place the CRT Packs flat on a metal tray in a refrigerator set to +15°C (60°F) for at least 24 hours, ensuring adequate airflow. The PCM must be completely solid before use.
For cold ambient conditions: Store the CRT Packs in a controlled room temperature environment between +20°C and +25°C (68°F to 77°F) for at least 24 hours. The PCM must be completely liquid before use.
Proper conditioning prepares the PCM to absorb or release thermal energy during transportation. Always follow Akuratemp’s handling instructions and use a packout configuration appropriate for your shipping conditions.
What is the difference between +18°C CRT Packs and +22°C Ambient Packs?
Both savENRG® +18°C CRT Packs and +22°C Ambient Packs are designed to protect temperature-sensitive shipments from extreme hot and cold conditions, but they use different phase change materials with different melting points.
+18°C CRT Packs use OM18P organic phase change material that absorbs and releases thermal energy around +18°C.
+22°C Ambient Packs use HS22P inorganic phase change material that absorbs and releases thermal energy around +22°C.
Both can support controlled room temperature shipping applications when properly conditioned and used in suitable insulated packaging. The appropriate PCM depends on the product’s required temperature range, expected shipping conditions, and validated packout configuration.
Do PCM CRT Packs need to be used with an insulated shipping container?
For reliable temperature-controlled shipping, savENRG® +18°C PCM CRT Packs should be used with an appropriately insulated shipping container.
Insulation helps reduce heat transfer between the shipment and the external environment, while the PCM Packs absorb or release thermal energy to help protect temperature-sensitive products.
Akuratemp also offers insulated shipping solutions that incorporate savENRG® CRT Packs, providing a complete temperature-controlled packaging system. These solutions combine PCM technology with insulation to help maintain the required temperature range during transport.
The appropriate PCM quantity, insulation, and packout configuration depend on the payload, transit duration, and expected shipping temperatures. Testing is recommended to verify performance for each application.
What types of biological samples and pharmaceutical products can be shipped with +18°C PCM CRT Packs?
savENRG® +18°C PCM CRT Packs can support temperature-controlled shipping applications involving biological specimens, diagnostic reagents, clinical trial materials, and certain medications that require controlled room temperature protection.
These reusable PCM Packs help reduce the risk of temperature excursions caused by excessive heat or cold during transportation.
Before selecting CRT Packs, businesses should verify the product’s required shipping temperature range and determine whether the insulated packaging configuration provides adequate protection throughout the intended transit duration.
