The quality of medicines depends not only on their composition. Storage and transport conditions also have a huge impact. If these conditions are not met whilst a medicine is being delivered from abroad, even the most effective medicine may lose its quality and become unsuitable for use. Specialised containers are used for the international delivery of medicines to protect them from temperature fluctuations, moisture and UV exposure. It is also important not to overlook mechanical stress. Arkcryo.com fully understands all these factors; the company has long been recognised by medical institutions, laboratories and other organisations in this sector as a reliable carrier that can guarantee the timely and correct delivery of medicines in accordance with all requirements.
It is important to monitor temperature conditions and other factors that may pose a risk to medical products throughout the entire journey, from pre-dispatch preparation right through to the handover of the consignment to the recipient.
Temperature
One of the main factors that can pose a risk to a medicinal product is temperature. In most cases, this can be considered the greatest threat. Some medicines can tolerate a wide temperature range, whilst others may have entirely different storage requirements. In each individual case, the specific temperature parameters, humidity levels or other storage and transport conditions must be clarified directly with the manufacturer. This is the only way to guarantee that the medicinal product will indeed be transported under appropriate conditions.
Humidity
This is one of the main factors, after temperature, that must be taken into account to protect a medicinal product from breaches in storage conditions. Special packaging with moisture-barrier properties is used for this purpose. In addition, such packaging can protect the consignment from exposure to light and provide additional protection against the risk of damage caused by mechanical factors, such as the packaging falling or vibrations during transport.
