Freeze Protection

2

Patient to Lab Shipment Kit

The Akuratemp® ATS1 is a multi-use biological specimen transport kit that utilizes phase change technology to protect from freezing and keeps the specimen temperature above +15°C (+59°F). These kits are independently tested to the ISTA 7D 24 Hour Winter Profile.

They are integrated with a TagBox™ sensor to provide cloud-based real-time temperature monitoring and end-to-end traceability. These specimen transport kits ensure temperature stability and real time monitoring during transportation to minimize specimen rejection.

Minimizes temperature related sample rejection for diagnostic and clinical trial specimens

Temperature stability achieved with phase change technology

Tested to ISTA 7D winter profiles

Establish temperature compliance with end-to-end traceability

Integrated delivery of early warning signals and excursion alarms 

TagBox™ sensor for cloud-based real-time monitoring of payload temperature and geo-location

The Akuratemp® ATS1 is ideal for freeze protection of diagnostic and clinical trial specimens during transportation

Applications

The Akuratemp® ATS1 is filled with an eco-friendly +18°C (+65°F) phase change material. Thermal energy is released as heat when the material changes state from liquid to solid. This keeps the specimen temperature stable and above +15°C during the phase change process. The insulation material, PCM type and PCM quantity are sized to deliver a 24 hr holdover time.

Specifications

Objective To carry out environmental conditioning of Akuratemp™ ATS1 Specimen Transport Kit to maintain a controlled temperature range of 15°C to 25°C for 24 hours when exposed to the ISTA 7D-24 Hour Winter Profile.

Charging of the PCM Plates: The PCM plates were charged by placing them on a metal tray in an environmental chamber set at 23°C +/- 2°C for at least 24 hours prior to pack out.

Pack out For the ISTA 7D-24 Hour Winter run, the chamber was equipped with a data probe. A second data probe was placed in a Ziploc bag and then placed in the payload cavity of the first PCM plate. A second PCM plate was placed on top of the first plate and the two were affixed together with a velcro band that is part of the kit. The plates were then inserted into the PUF insulated base of the case provided and the case was sealed with tape.
