Have you ever given much thought to how they transport medication and vaccines safely from point A to point B? It’s not something that many people ever sit and think about as we just assume that the system must be effective as it seems to be working well. However, in reality, transporting something like vaccines poses numerous challenges; it’s no easy fret as there are numerous variables to consider and not taking the right precautions could make an entire batch of medicine useless. The correct temperature, a sterile environment and contamination are all factors that need to be adhered to during transit. That’s why the entire transportation of vaccines (and other medical goods) must be faultless!
But how can such thorough measures be enforced when transporting vaccines safely across a long distance? The solution- specialised bioprocess containers…
Bioprocess Containers
The right shipping containers really can make all the difference, especially for shipments like vaccines that need to be transported in specific conditions (like a temperature-controlled environment).
When packing up bioprocess containers (BPC), the sequence follows a very unique filling system, with each phase focusing on containing the liquid goods inside a clean and air-tight container. If the container is incorrectly sealed or secured then the shipment is likely to be rendered contaminated. That’s why the entire packing process has to be followed meticulously, otherwise, the vaccines could spill or break when being transported. For those reasons, the packing and transportation of these goods go hand-in-hand. If the vaccines are not sealed correctly they are at risk of damage during transit.
Vaccines packaged and shipped in ALLpaQ Bioprocess containers will also adhere to careful instructions to ensure both the security and stability of the goods are not at risk when being transported from a lab to doctors’ offices or hospitals cross-country.
Protocols that Bioprocess Containers Follow:
A Sterile Environment to Minimise Contamination:
Bioprocess containers are engineered to maintain the highest levels of sterility, crucial for preserving vaccine integrity. Their design minimises contamination risks, ensuring that vaccines remain pure and effective thanks to the intricate packing phases.
Temperature Control (if clinically necessary):
Maintaining the correct temperature during the transportation of vaccines is essential for preserving their shelf life as well as efficacy. The wrong template could make a whole batch unusable- a very costly mistake that would mean the goods would need to be destroyed. Bioprocess containers can adhere to temperature monitoring systems, ensuring vaccines stay within the specified ranges throughout transit.
That’s why bioprocess containers are indispensable instruments for vaccine transportation as they ensure they reach their final destination safely. Learn more about Bioprocess containers and their uses on the AllPaQ website.
