CRYOPDP Transportation Solutions

The transport and logistics challenges confronting the pharmaceutical, biotech, and healthcare sectors are particularly complex, mainly due to the extreme fragility and temperature-sensitive nature of the goods involved.

With increased emphasis on cellular and genetic-based therapies, a need to carry new-generation drugs, vaccines, and other therapies within a cold chain logistics system has come. This must maintain temperatures within highly controlled and narrow ranges and include a monitoring/validation system to ensure that prescribed conditions are met throughout the distribution process.

Timeliness is also critical, particularly for sensitive storage and shipping cold chain products. This is exacerbated by the rigorous ‘just in time’ demands within healthcare and clinical trials and rising customer expectations for on-time deliveries.

A further challenge is the life sciences market’s increasingly international and cross-border nature. There are demands for delivery services with global reach, expertise in handling highly divergent climatic and regulatory regimes, and technical knowledge in goods labelling and customs documentation.

As the world becomes increasingly aware of the urgency of environmental and climate action, process sustainability rises on the corporate agenda, including logistics in using materials and resources.

The imperative now dominates the entire pharmaceutical logistics system: mitigate risks at every stage to safeguard product integrity, patient safety, and brand reputation.
