Connected, portable ColdCube™ containers deliver precise temperature control for medicines, ensuring safe delivery to hospitals and homes.
To safeguard its homecare pharmacy deliveries and nationwide distribution, TCD Medical has partnered with Thermo King®, a leader in transport temperature control solutions and a brand of Trane Technologies. Facing the challenge of delivering small-volume pharmaceuticals under strict temperature conditions, the company has added Thermo King ColdCube™ units to its fleet.
“Maintaining the quality and integrity of medical and biological products during transport is crucial for safeguarding public health and patient safety,” said Juan Urmeneta, product management leader at Thermo King EMEA. “Our partnership with TCD Medical showcases how an unwavering, uninterrupted cold chain is possible with advanced temperature control technologies. Thermo King’s GDP-qualified solutions, including ColdCube™, support every step of the process, from long-haul routes to last-mile distribution and flexible, portable storage. Equipping their fleet with ColdCube™ containers, TCD Medical ensured life-saving medicines reach patients safely, reliably, and in perfect condition.”
TCD Medical recognised inefficiencies in transporting small loads from compounding facilities to hospitals or patients using large vehicles, prompting the need for a more suitably sized and precise solution. Thermo King UK recommended ColdCube™ portable containers. These containers provide accurate heating, cooling, and freezing for medicines, and, importantly, can operate on the van’s battery even during a vehicle breakdown. This feature reduces the risk of temperature deviations and helps ensure product safety throughout transit. (....)
