If you're in the food business, there's no way to avoid having to refrigerate ingredients used in preparing food for your customers. Having the right commercial refrigeration is essential especially for ensuring that your food remains safe for consumption. Therefore, finding a refrigerator that works for your premises and your scale of food production is a top priority. Refrigerators may be your go-to option, but have you thought about cold rooms as well? What are Cold Rooms? Compared to the domestic refrigerator, a cold room is a walk-in facility that is controlled using refrige...

There are lots of different products out there and before they get to market, products need to be tested in all kinds of environmental conditions to make sure that both quality and shelf life are maintained. However, it's not easy to move products around just to replicate different climate conditions. This is where stability chambers come in. Specially designed for product testing, stability chambers are vital pieces of equipment that are used to determine the shelf life of products such as drugs, electrical components, industrial materials and more using various parameters like temperatu...

A mortuary is used for keeping the bodies of the deceased prior to identification, burial or cremation, awaiting post-mortem or disposal. Under normal procedures, the storage of human corpses may range from a few hours to a few days. In some rare cases though, a few weeks or longer may be needed. This means that preventing or delaying the bodies from decomposition is necessary, which is why a refrigerated environment is recommended. Mortuary refrigerators are equipment that maintain a suitable environment for the bodies of the deceased. Nearly all modern health care facilities would have ...

ETS has recently updated our range of data loggers with the all-new TempU-04! Temperature data loggers, also known as digital temperature sensors, are portable measurement devices that record temperature changes over a period of time. These devices can work independently and are used to monitor the temperature and humidity of shipments and storage of food, pharmaceuticals and chemicals. Although data logging can be done manually by constant human observation, temperature data loggers are far more effective, accurate and reliable than taking periodic manual readings. An examp...

Vaccines have become one the fastest growing pharmaceutical markets in the world, with major investments in research and development, manufacturing and more. The global human vaccine market has a forecasted potential market growth of USD 18.52 billion between 2021-2025. This development is in line with the increasing frequency of infectious diseases, innovative technology used in vaccine development, increased funding from both government and international organisations, and increasing awareness towards preventive care. As a powerful public health tool, vaccines save millions of live...

In pharmacies, hospitals, and laboratories, cold storage is paramount in the storage of temperature-sensitive medications, vaccines, reagents, and patient samples. Consistent and reliable refrigeration is required for the optimal conditions that extend the shelf-life of drugs, vaccines and samples. Why are clinical applications not using household freezers or refrigerators to do the job? Don't they also provide the same conditions for drugs and vaccines? Some clinics would prefer to save costs by using household freezers and refrigerators to store drugs and medications. In fact, impro...

In the event of local or regional natural disasters, public safety responders and healthcare facilities are often short of one very crucial resource when it's needed in great quantity. It's not money, food or volunteers. It's blood. Every two seconds of every day, someone will need blood and it's not just accident victims who do. In fact, the people who routinely need blood the most include those who are: Being treated for cancerUndergoing surgeriesBeing treated for inherited blood disorders. Blood is a resource that cannot be manufactured outside the body and possesses a limite...

The pharmaceutical industry is filled to the brim with requirements which must be absolutely fulfilled without exception. How medicines, and especially vaccines are stored, influences their efficiency and quality directly and may impact upon the customers and patients to whom they are administered. There is not one uniform storage requirement for all existing drugs and medicines today. In reality, many drugs and medicines must be kept strictly within a precise temperature range and under particular conditions in order to remain safe for use. For example, overheated products promote the growth...

The COVID-19 pandemic presents new challenges for the global cold chain. The first few COVID-19 vaccines are using newly-developed mRNA technology that requires it to be kept at sub-zero temperatures during shipments. The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine has been extremely specific in that regard, requiring a chilly -70°C for long-term storage, while Moderna's must be kept at -20°C . It is these requirements which pose an incredible challenge to provide an unbroken global cold chain – from point of manufacture to the last mile – the patients themselves. The Last Mile Challenge To I...

In the laboratory environment, the preparation of samples or other materials for short or long-term cold storage involves cooling of the samples or materials before they can be stored. Although most labs would most likely have an ultra-low temperature freezer or other conventional freezers at hand, these may not be the right tools for the job. 1. Extending Unit Lifespans An ultra-low temperature freezer which is designed for long-term cold storage may be used by the lab to prepare samples prior to long-term cold storage or to cool warmer samples. This practice though, may impact the l...
