Controlled Room Temperature PCMs
ThermaBrick® Refrigerant Bricks offer precise and reliable temperatures for life science applications.
Often referred to as ambient room temperature phase change materials (PCMs), controlled room temperature PCM cold chain solutions are associated with precise temperatures to ensure product stability, regulatory compliance, and consistent temperature control during controlled room temperature transport for life science applications. In life science logistics, maintaining controlled room temperature is essential for preserving the integrity of biological samples, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive materials.
What Are Controlled Room Temperature PCMs?
Controlled room temperature PCM cold chain solutions ensure product stability, regulatory compliance, and consistent temperature control during transport for life science applications.
Controlled Room Temperature Key Range:
Controlled room temperature range is typically 15–25 °C (68–77 °F) for life sciences applications. However, according to the US Pharmacopeia and the European Union Good Distribution Practice (EU GDP), excursions are permitted between +15 °C and +30 °C, as long as they are brief and don’t affect product quality.
Purpose of Controlled Room Temperature PCMs:
Controlled room temperature PCM products maintain room temperature conditions during the transport of temperature-sensitive biological products, reagents, or pharmaceuticals. By absorbing and releasing latent heat, the PCM material protects the contents from temperature fluctuations caused by environmental changes.
Controlled Room Temperature PCM Applications in Life Sciences Packaging
Controlled Room Temperature PCM solutions ensure stable conditions for life sciences products. These PCM cooling solutions are applied to real-world cases where phase change materials for cooling enhance product integrity and compliance across the life sciences supply chain.
Clinical Trial Logistics
Controlled room temperature phase change material maintains stable environmental conditions during domestic and international clinical trial transport. This helps ensure compliance with GDP, IATA, and WHO standards while preventing sample spoilage—allowing trial materials to move securely without relying on costly active refrigeration systems.
Pharmaceutical & Biotech Shipping
For oral solid doses, biologics, and diagnostic kits, controlled room temperature phase change material products offer reliable thermal buffering throughout the distribution process. This protects products from fluctuations during customs clearance, warehouse dwell time, and last-mile delivery, preserving quality through to patient use.
Laboratory Transport
When biological samples, reagents, and research kits are moved between laboratories or research facilities, controlled room temperature phase change material helps maintain temperature stability. This reduces the risk of degradation or overheating and supports accuracy in downstream testing and analysis.
Vaccines and Biologics with Controlled Room Temperature Stability
Certain vaccines and biologics are designed to remain stable within a controlled room temperature range. Controlled room temperature phase change materials provide an additional thermal buffer in variable or warm climates, helping reduce product waste and safeguard therapeutic efficacy during distribution.
Diagnostics & Point-of-Care Devices
Diagnostic reagents and portable testing kits depend on stable conditions for consistent performance. Controlled room temperature PCMs help protect these materials during storage and transportation, extending shelf life and ensuring reliable results in clinical, field, and remote care environments.
