Dry Ice and Cryogenic Monitoring 


Maintain your sensitive pharmaceuticals and biological samples in ultra-low temperatures all the way

When it comes to cryogenic distribution for the pharmaceutical industry, providers of temperature-controlled packaging, storage and shipping require next-level support across critical functions such as cold chain logistics planning and data monitoring. To ensure safe and legal transportation of cryopreserved materials, proper documentation, handling, temperature integrity and record-keeping are essential to meet regulatory standards. With Tec4med, you can maintain safe cryogenic conditions below -78.5°C (-109.3°F) in a controlled way and have access to real-time data for optimal supply chain visibility.

Cold Chain Challenges with Cryogenic Monitoring in Storage and Shipping

Cryogenic storage and shipping present unique challenges in maintaining the cold chain for pharmaceuticals and bio samples due to the ultra-low temperatures, handling hazards, packaging requirements, increasing regulatory requirements and more complex logistics.

Regulations and Qualifications for Cryogenic Monitoring

Pharmaceutical standards and regulatory compliance pose high expectations and demands on the supply chain logistics and transportation. Proper maintenance of a cryogenic environment is critical for the safety and efficacy of deep-frozen pharmaceuticals and biological samples and as such require highly technical conditions and regulations.

Dry Ice vs. Liquid Nitrogen (LN2) Requirements for Storage and Shipping

The choice between dry ice and LN2 depends on the specific requirements of the product being stored or shipped, as well as the length and scale of storage and shipping needs. Both options require special monitoring equipment that is capable of reading and storing cryogenic temperatures.
