What is cold chain?

Cold Chain refers to an uninterrupted flow of a temperature-controlled shipment from manufacturing through delivery to end-user. This requires knowledge and control of the shipping environment, package design, duration of the shipment(s) and critical control points throughout the process.

Cold chain is necessary to control product efficacy, product safety, and adhere to relevant regulatory requirements. Temperature-sensitive products that require cold chain solutions may include: pharmaceuticals, biological, diagnostic materials, lab samples, chemicals, and foods.
