Pharmaceutical companies have a crucial role - enabling healthier, longer lives through innovative products. Clinical trial management is key for ensuring the effectiveness of life-saving drugs, as well as delicate biological samples, and requires meticulous handling, especially in terms of temperature control through proper cold storage.
Temperature control is an absolute necessity for maintaining the quality of pharmaceutical products. Exposure to excessive heat or cold can rapidly degrade their effectiveness. Hence, cold storage plays an essential role in the pharmaceutical supply chain.
Cold and ambient storage for drugs offers several advantages:
Each drug's chemistry and ingredients dictate the strict temperature ranges to be maintained. Some medications need to avoid excessive heat, while others, like vaccines, require refrigerated conditions between 2°C and 8°C. Breaching these temperature zones can render the medicine less potent or even unsafe.
Pharma companies employ specialized cold storage facilities and equipment to maintain these temperatures. Modern cold rooms come in various configurations to accommodate any company's needs - some for indoor use, others for outdoor areas with limited space. The most advanced solutions, like our cGMP warehouse, are highly energy efficient too.
Comprehensive testing and monitoring are essential for maintaining these cold storage systems. Tobin Scientific offers customized cold storage systems that meet this criterion. Their rooms employ precise sensor mapping to track temperatures at multiple points, while data loggers provide a constant stream of readings to confirm safe range maintenance. Our warehouse integrates robust security and access control, precise temperature and humidity, and QMS systems with 21 CFR Part 11-compliancy.
Biological sample storage and archival storage can be customized across a range of temperature environments, catering to various types of samples and their specific storage conditions. Here are some use cases:
Each temperature range serves a specific purpose in biological sample storage, ensuring that samples maintain their integrity from the time they are collected until they are analyzed in clinical trials.
Maintaining adequate temperature control is crucial not only during the storage of biological samples but also during their transport. Any changes in temperature during the transit process can potentially compromise the samples' integrity, affecting the accuracy of clinical trials.
Using the same provider for storage and transport minimizes the risk of product damage and loss during handoffs. Tobin Scientific understands the complexities of transporting these delicate samples and we offer end-to-end logistics services that ensure temperature control is maintained during the transport process. With meticulous planning, tight temperature controls, and real-time tracking, Tobin Scientific ensures that biological samples reach their destination in optimal condition.
A dedicated team oversees the entire process, from the initial planning stages to the final delivery, ensuring that all aspects of the transport are executed seamlessly.
Moreover, Tobin Scientific offers emergency response services. In the event of unexpected disruptions or emergencies during transit, Tobin Scientific has systems in place to promptly and effectively respond with redundant generators and real-time monitoring.. This ensures the preservation of the samples and their safe delivery despite any unforeseen circumstances.
By offering these services, Tobin Scientific takes the worry out of biological sample transport. They ensure that samples maintain their quality from the moment they are collected until they reach their final destination, allowing researchers and clinicians to focus on their vital work.
