Why Refrigeration is Critical in Pharmaceuticals
Refrigeration plays a vital role in maintaining product integrity. Many pharmaceuticals can lose their effectiveness or become unsafe if exposed to incorrect temperatures, even for brief periods. Compliance with regulatory standards set by governing bodies such as the MHRA (UK), FDA, and EMA requires documented proof that temperature-sensitive drugs are handled correctly. This includes adherence to Good Distribution Practice (GDP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards.
Maintaining a validated cold chain from manufacturing to end-users—such as hospitals or pharmacies—is non-negotiable. Our refrigeration solutions help prevent contamination, ensuring that hygienic cooling environments are established to thwart microbial growth during pharmaceutical production.
Pharmaceutical Refrigeration Solutions
We offer a comprehensive range of refrigeration solutions tailored specifically for the pharmaceutical sector:
Pharmaceutical Cold Rooms
Our custom-designed cold rooms are ideal for storing large volumes of temperature-sensitive stock. They maintain strict tolerances, typically between +2°C to +8°C or -20°C, and may include redundant systems for failover protection to ensure your products remain safe.
Ultra-Low Temperature Freezers (ULT)
These freezers can reach temperatures as low as -40°C to -86°C, making them perfect for storing mRNA vaccines, genetic material, or long-term biological samples. Our ULT freezers are designed to maintain stability, ensuring the integrity of your critical products.
Refrigerated Warehouses and Logistic Centres
We provide refrigerated warehouse solutions with temperature-zoned areas for different product categories. These facilities are integrated with state-of-the-art temperature monitoring systems and alarms to ensure compliance and safety.
Cleanroom-Compatible Cooling Systems
Our cooling systems are designed for sterile manufacturing zones, constructed using stainless steel with HEPA filters and anti-contamination measures. This ensures that your products are handled in a hygienic environment throughout the production cycle.
Refrigerated Transport Systems
Our refrigerated transport solutions include vans and lorries equipped with GMP-compliant temperature control systems. These vehicles offer real-time GPS and temperature tracking, ensuring that your products remain in optimal conditions during transit.
Humidity Control Systems
In many pharmaceutical applications, maintaining Relative Humidity (RH) control is as crucial as temperature control, especially for hygroscopic compounds. Our humidity control systems ensure that your products are stored under the best possible conditions.
