Refrigerants: With a full line of reusable refrigerants, customers can safely ship all temperature-sensitive items, including pharmaceuticals and food products. Nordic Ice® offers a variety of cold chain refrigerants in different sizes and materials to meet varying shipping needs. These refrigerants can be used ambient or frozen depending on the situation – offering superior flexibility compared to other packaging solutions. These Refrigerants packs also provide excellent insulation for better protection against the elements while in transit – ensuring you get precise control over storage conditions without any surprises along the way.
Refrigerants: Proper Storage Methods
Proper storage of goods in a cold chain is essential to ensure product safety and quality. Cold chains are temperature-controlled supply systems that keep food, medicines, and other perishable items at their ideal temperature throughout storage and delivery. To achieve the desired results from cold chain solutions, suppliers must develop an understanding of the different elements involved.
Nordic cold chain solutions offer several features that make them suitable for storing goods in a temperature-controlled environment. One key benefit is an advanced insulation system that helps maintain high hygiene standards while keeping temperatures stable over extended periods – even at temperatures as low as –20°C (–4°F). This ensures that products remain fresh during storage and transport without risking spoilage or contamination. Another notable feature Nordic has pioneered is the use of smart technology to facilitate better management and control across all stages of the cold-chain process. These data-driven tools provide real-time monitoring capabilities to stay on top of your inventory levels, logistics needs, customer orders, etc., allowing you to optimize your operations efficiently with little oversight required from start to finish.
Reliable Shipping
Reliable shipping in the cold chain is essential to ensure the safety and quality of temperature-sensitive products. Cold chain shipping involves storing and transporting items at specific temperatures, usually below 4 degrees Celsius (39°F) or frozen. Within this range, numerous factors protect your goods from spoilage or degradation during transit. When it comes to reliable cold chain shipping, several key considerations must be taken into account. The main ones include:
Temperature Monitoring
Temperature monitoring is a vital component of the cold chain. It ensures that products remain at the correct temperature throughout their shipping journey, providing visibility and control over your shipments. However, keeping track of temperatures during long-distance shipments can be difficult with traditional tracking methods.
That’s why Nordic Temperature Loggers are an ideal solution for all your temperature monitoring needs in the cold chain. This product features a simple form factor—designed to look like a standard shipping label—with powerful RFID technology built right into it so you can monitor its location and temperature along its entire journey through our High Visibility Cold Chain platform from any smartphone or other device connected to the internet! When it comes to data accuracy, our loggers are highly accurate down to 1/10th of a degree Celsius, meaning you get reliable readings every time and won’t have to worry about incorrect information or loss of data during accompanying processes such as packing or storage before shipment.
Room Temperature Shipping
Controlled Room Temperature Shipping, also known as CRT shipping, is a method of transporting goods that requires low to moderate temperature control. This form of transport involves specialized packaging and monitoring systems to ensure items are delivered safely without being exposed to temperatures outside the designated range.
The temperature range for controlled room temperature shipping is generally between 15°C and 25°C (59°F – 77°F). In some cases, this range may be narrower depending on the needs of a specific product or shipment. Any variation in ambient room temperature beyond this zone will need to be corrected using refrigeration or heating units attached to the container or packaging material. The goal is always to maintain product integrity while in transit so it arrives at its destination in perfect condition. Aside from packaging, materials like insulators and cooling agents help keep products within their optimal storage temperature ranges during transit.
