COLD CHAIN PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT, RECORDING AND ANALYSIS

Sensitech offers solutions for measuring, recording, analysing, and improving cold chain performance. Our solutions and products are listed below.

Validated data acquisition instruments: for in-transit, in-storage and in-process environmental monitoring.

Enterprise software applications: to provide validated web-enabled, scalable data management, analysis and exception reporting.

Life science professional services: including cold chain analytics, these services allow companies to identify and apply corrective actions based on meaningful variability across their cold chain. Primary examples of our life sciences professional services include shipping studies and thermal mapping studies.

COLD CHAIN MONITORING DEVICES

Sensitech instruments provide identification of temperature and/or humidity excursions beyond acceptable levels. The information collected is used to determine the quality of temperature-sensitive products. In addition, analysis of the information can be used to determine liability for insurance purposes.

For in-transit and in-process applications, the data instrument offering includes the TempTale® line of electronic temperature and humidity monitors - the most widely used brand, worldwide.

Sensitech's monitoring devices also include a low-cost TagAlert® monitor, designed specifically for smaller shipments, typically occurring during the 'last mile' of the distribution cycle.

ADVANCED LIFE SCIENCE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE SOLUTIONS

Beyond its traditional monitoring programs, Sensitech offers a series of advanced life science professional service solutions designed to map and analyse complex cold chains and provide process improvement. Examples of these programs include shipping and thermal mapping studies. These specific solutions have been designed in response to the USP General Chapter <1079> 'Good Storage and Shipping Practices', published August 1, 2005.

Shipping studies offer insight into controllable shipping variables including packaging, carriers, delivery times and routes – providing documentation to support your risk management decisions and identifying the optimal balance between controllable costs and uncontrollable risks.

Thermal mapping studies include facility, trailer and container thermal mapping. These services provide the required documentation for mapping the temperature profile of and variances within a facility, trailer or container.
