📦Delivering temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals? Properly packed thermal packaging is crucial for maintaining product integrity. Learn from Richard Harrop, Product Director at Topa Thermal: A single mistake can jeopardise qualification and impact both product quality and safety. Get expert guidance at https://lnkd.in/eufEt6wK

Are you risking your product's safety by using only internal data loggers? We all know that internal data loggers provide crucial evidence that your product remained within its required temperature during distribution. But what if you have a temperature excursion? An internal logger only tells you half the story. To get the full picture, placing an external data logger outside the thermal packaging, provides evidence of what your shipment was exposed to. Adding the external and internal data together, can pinpoint what went wrong - and when it happened - providing you with the evidence to swiftly problem-solve any distribution issues. Long term, this combined approach can help you optimise your packaging and improve future shipments. Learn more at TopaThermal.com

A temperature excursion could cost you—do you know how to evaluate one? Understanding the cause of a thermal packaging temperature excursion is key in preventing re-occurrence. Here are four things to look for: one – The inclusion of both an internal and an external data logger will give you the clearest answer about when - and at what temperature - something went wrong. two – don’t be too hasty to disassemble the thermal packaging. Check that the pack-out matches the packing instructions. three – review your packing process. Were your components packed, conditioned or pre-conditioned correctly? four – talk with your carrier. Perhaps their processes deviates from your expectations or assumptions. External monitoring can really help in this conversation.

Are weirdly located data loggers putting your entire supply chain at risk? The job of an internal data logger is to prove your product maintained its temperature during the entirety of its distribution. Placing it correctly ensures accurate data without disrupting supply. To achieve this, position the data logger with the product. It's important to understand however, that Data loggers measure air temperature, not the product - and air temperature can vary from product temperature by up to 3 degrees — critical when maintaining a range like 2-8. An unconditioned data logger can also cause fluctuations. Conditioning it with your payload prevents this. So, if you’re thinking of including a data logger in your shipments, integrate it into your thermal packaging design programme. Learn more at TopaThermal.com

Effects such as cold shock can ruin your product! But knowing the difference between conditioning and pre-conditioning can help prevent a number of excursion and performace risks. Correct conditioning ensures that all packaging materials, data loggers, and products, have reached their defined temperature. It’s the first step in creating consistency in your packing process. Coolants often need to be taken through a phase change during this stage. But, adding coolants to your thermal packaging at their conditioned temperature, could cause cold shock! So - how do we solve this? Pre-conditioning takes place after coolant conditioning - and immediately before packing. This is when the coolant temperature is brought up to its point of phase change. This step eliminates the potential for cold shock, without losing any durational performance. Learn more about our thermal packaging solutions, at TopaThermal.com

📦When qualifying thermal packaging, selecting the right ambient temperature profile is essential. This ensures a fit-for-purpose solution - without over-engineering or unnecessary costs. If you’re introducing a thermal packaging solution to protect and ship your temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, start by mapping your distribution stages and timestamping touch points.
