Insulated Temperature Controlled Solutions
Maintaining the integrity of specimens within a cold-chain with Versapak (PYTB) medical carriers
Versapak medical carriers are equipped with a padded protective insulation that maintains the temperature of the contents for up to 12 hours. These robust medical carriers provide laboratories and other medical users with a safe, secure and efficient way to manage any temperature sensitive biological material such as specimens and samples. Not only that, Versapak medical carriers are fitted with internal pockets; one to hold freeze boards that extend the thermal performance and another for a temperature monitor devices that will record the internal temperature when in place, giving you peace-of-mind of the preservation of the contents. Medical carriers with external temperature displays are also available so there is no need to open the carrier to check the internal temperature.
Tested and Approved
Our Versapak’s have been rigorously tested and checked to perform accordingly, in consultation with industries and their requirements. We worked with world renowned packaging testing organisation TÜV SÜD Product Service GmbH to test the efficacy of our carriers 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:
