Plymouth, Minnesota, USA: Peli BioThermal has expanded its dry ice shipper options to support growth in cell and gene therapy shipments worldwide.
The shippers are available for parcel sizes from 1.1 litres to 179 litres and cover temperatures from minus 65 degrees C to minus 20 degrees C.
“Cell and gene therapies are highly individualized and patient-centric, which creates a drastically different supply chain than we see for mass-produced pharmaceutical products,” said Greg Wheatley, vice president, worldwide new product development and engineering, Peli BioThermal.
“This supply chain introduces individuals who are not always familiar with cold chain packaging. Our job is to make easy-to-use temperature controlled solutions for these applications.”
Peli BioThermal’s expanded range of dry ice parcels can replace liquid nitrogen systems on short journeys that include a courier. The easy-to-pack parcels are available in single-use Sherpa Systems and DeepFreeze shippers, as well as the reusable Crēdo Cube shippers. The Sherpa Systems shippers range in size from 5 litres to 179 litres, DeepFreeze products are available in 1.1 litre to 8 litre sizes, and Crēdo Cube shippers include 5 litre and 17 litre sizes.
