Pharmazeutische Kühlkette.

Wiederverwendbare, folienversiegelte UltraST PCM-Module für Impfstoffe, Biologika und klinische Proben. Auf validierte Temperaturfenster abgestimmt, verbinden sie Verzögerungspuffer, schnelle Erholung nach Deckelöffnung und hohe Umlauffrequenz. Formstabil und abgedichtet ohne freie Flüssigkeit: so wird der Leckage-Kontaminationspfad in regulierten Pharmarouten entfernt.

01 / Problem context

The real compliance drain is delay and lid opening.

1. Delays do not follow the plan. Airport handoffs, customs holds, last-mile dwell, and missed flights consume the temperature budget. In the UltraST product-site test, conventional ice packs reached the 2–8 °C boundary at about 28.2h; UltraST PCM extended the window to 39.6h, adding 11.4h of buffer.

2. Lid-opening events accumulate. Sorting, inspection, handoff scans, and sample access bring heat into the shipper. UltraST recovered to the compliance window in 10.2min after lid opening, 2.6× faster than the 26.4min ice-pack baseline.

3. Turnaround and leakage drive true cost. Conventional gel coolants need longer reconditioning and can create a liquid contamination path if damaged. UltraST is shape-stabilized and sealed with no free-liquid leakage path, recharges in 57min, and supports about 4 cycles per day.

So this page is not just about “adding more coolant.” It answers the operational question: can delays, lid openings, and damage risk be absorbed inside a validated temperature window while keeping the hardware reusable, documented, and lane-verifiable?

Jedes Passive Edge Kühlkettenmodul basiert auf UltraST PCM — einem ultrahoch wärmeleitfähigen formstabilen Phasenwechselmaterial. Ein durchgehendes Leitgerüst bindet den Phasenwechselkern innerhalb der Folienversiegelung und bildet einen formstabilen Wärmepuffer ohne freien Flüssigkeits-Leckagepfad für regulierte Routen.

  • — 01 Compliance buffer

    39.6h at 2–8 °C

    In the equal-mass PCM test, UltraST adds 11.4h over the 28.2h ice-pack baseline for airport handoffs, customs holds, and last-mile delays.

  • — 02 Lid-open recovery

    10.2min back in window

    Recovery after lid opening is about 2.6× faster than the ice-pack baseline, helping repeated sorting, inspection, and handoff events stay inside the window.

  • — 03 Turnaround

    57min recharge

    Compared with a 129.5min conventional-coolant cycle, UltraST supports about 4 cycles per day and reduces standby coolant inventory.

  • — 04 Safety path

    Shape-stabilized · no free-liquid path

    Damaged packaging does not create a liquid leakage or contamination path. The chemistry is PFAS-free, fluorine-free, and formaldehyde-free for regulated documentation packages.

Test conditions are from the public UltraST product site; specific lanes still need validation by shipper, payload, ambient profile, lid-opening frequency, and regulatory requirements.

PCM selector & dosage.

Size the foil-sealed UltraST PCM charge for your shipper or cold-chain vehicle in four guided steps — pick a scenario, describe the container, set your temperature window, choose a phase point. The required PCM mass updates live, with a safety margin. Outputs are directional pending lane validation.
