Chemical reagents, antibodies, and cell lines are the core tools labs worldwide use to detect, measure, and create everything from new drugs to disease models.
Each has its own quirks. Reagents can be flammable or corrosive. Antibodies need a steady chill to stay functional. Cell lines, often frozen at -80°C, die if they thaw even briefly.
This shipment had three distinct needs: +2 to +8°C for refrigerated antibodies, -80°C with dry ice for frozen antibodies, and uncontrolled ambient for the cell lines.
We used thermal passive packaging for the refrigerated goods—insulated boxes that hold steady without active cooling.
For the -80°C antibodies, we packed them in dry ice boxes, loaded with enough dry ice to last the trip plus a 48-hour buffer for delays.
The ambient reagents went into standard carton boxes, tough enough to handle the journey. To prove it worked, we tucked data loggers into every package. They gave us real-time proof that temperatures held steady, all the way from HK to Sydney.
Science breakthroughs depend on reliable cold-chain logistics holding up its end. That's what we have been doing for years and we still take it uttermost seriously - improving lives through logistics.
