Insulated Temperature Controlled Solutions

Versapak medical carriers are manufactured with a padded protective insulation and provide laboratories and other medical establishments with a safe and practical way to transport temperature sensitive biological material such as specimen samples. Versapak medical carriers are fitted with an internal pocket to hold a temperature monitoring device to record the internal temperature. Medical carriers with external temperature displays are also available in our range.
Tested and Approved
The Versapak medical carriers listed below have been rigorously tested and checked throughout the manufacturing process, in consultation with industries and their requirements. We also worked with world renowned packaging testing organisation TÜV SÜD Product Service GmbH to test the carrier’s thermal capabilities. They found our insulated carriers can maintain temperatures of 2 - 8⁰C degrees for an average of up to 12 hours. Our largest medical carriers (PYTB3 30 litre internal capacity) performed beyond expectations, preserving the temperature for over 20 hours. We tested our products extensively, in various ambient conditions. The below gives guidance to the performance of each carrier in their prescribed conditions:
