Cold Storage Solutions for Pharmaceuticals and Medical Products
💉 Cold Storage Solutions for Pharmaceuticals and Medical Products
Proper storage of pharmaceuticals is vital for human health. Cold rooms in this sector need more than just temperature control—they require real-time monitoring, alarms, backup power, and full compliance with health regulations.
🌡️ Which Products Require Cold Storage?
Many medical and pharmaceutical products must be stored within strict temperature ranges to maintain their effectiveness:
Product Type Storage Temperature Range Vaccines +2°C to +8°C Insulin +2°C to +8°C Blood products +2°C to +6°C Eye drops +5°C to +25°C Gene therapy products –20°C or lower

🧊 Technical Specs: Panels & Cooling System
Wall Panel Thickness: Varies depending on the stored product. For positive temperature rooms, 8–10 cm polyurethane-filled panels are commonly used. For deep-freeze or gene storage rooms operating at –20°C to –50°C, 20 cm panels and additional systems may be required. This provides optimal strength and insulation.
Refrigerant Gas: The most commonly used gas is R404A, depending on the required temperature. However, this may vary based on your country’s regulations and preferences.
🎯 Conclusion
Protecting the quality of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals isn’t just about financial loss—it’s about saving lives. Medical-grade cold storage solutions must be carefully engineered and professionally maintained.
