The medical cold chain plays a vital role around the world in preserving the integrity of temperature-sensitive products, such as vaccines, medications, and biological samples. Vaccines, for instance, lose their potency if exposed to temperatures outside the recommended range, jeopardizing public health efforts to control preventable diseases. Similarly, certain medications and biological samples require strict…
“How to store amoxicillin” is a crucial question for anyone prescribed with this common antibiotic, as proper storage is key to maintaining its effectiveness. In this blog post, we delve into the various aspects of amoxicillin storage, from the ideal temperature to the importance of keeping it away from light and moisture. Whether you’re dealing…
In the pharmaceutical world, the medical cold chain stands as a critical link in the journey of temperature-sensitive products from manufacturers to patients. With new digital technologies sweeping across industries, the pharmaceutical cold chain is also being impacted by these new innovations which, in this case, are aiming to help ensure the safety, efficacy, and…
In the ongoing battle against infectious diseases, Ebola stands out as one of the most daunting challenges the global health community has faced in recent decades. Characterized by its high fatality rates and rapid transmission, the Ebola virus has historically plunged entire regions into states of emergency. However, groundbreaking advancements in vaccine development promise not…
In a significant stride towards eradicating a debilitating disease, a new polio vaccine has achieved WHO prequalification. This development represents a crucial milestone in global health, where effective vaccination remains our strongest defence. With a novel design intended to tackle a persistent challenge of the virus, this vaccine is poised to bolster our fight against…
Through these short conversations, we try to understand what our customers think about us. Today, we are going to Afghanistan to meet M. Ahmad Tariq Sadiqzada, EPI technician. The Expanded Programme on Immunization in Afghanistan was initiated in 1978 to prioritize immunization across the population by the Ministry of Public Health. The national EPI structure…
In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare, mobile healthcare units have become increasingly important. These units are designed to provide essential medical services to underserved or remote communities, disaster-stricken areas, and during public health emergencies. A crucial component of these mobile units is the safe and effective transportation of temperature-sensitive medications and vaccines. Ice boxes…
Ice boxes play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of temperature-sensitive medical supplies, such as vaccines, blood samples, and certain medications. In particular, ice boxes designed for medical use must meet stringent requirements for thermal insulation and durability to ensure that the contents remain viable during transport and storage. Recent advances in materials science…
Laboratory deep freezers are essential for the preservation of biological samples, including blood bank storage, pharmaceuticals, and genetic materials. These freezers operate at ultra-low temperatures, often reaching -80°C, to maintain the integrity of sensitive materials. However, they are also among the most energy-intensive equipment in laboratories. As environmental concerns grow and energy costs rise, there…
