Pharma Cold Chain

GDP-Compliant Pharmaceutical Cold Chain

Shipping lifesaving pharmaceuticals, vaccines, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and clinical trial samples requires absolute compliance with Good Distribution Practice (GDP) standards. Temperature deviations in transit can destroy chemical formulations, rendering products ineffective or unsafe.

Scan2Freight operates validated cold chain corridors, combining thick container insulation, calibrated refrigeration systems, and continuous data logging to ensure cargo safety.

Continuous Calibrated Temperature Data Logging

To satisfy international health ministry regulations (FDA, WHO, EMA), every pharmaceutical shipment must feature uninterrupted temperature monitoring logs:

• Single-Use USB Loggers: Stowed directly inside cargo boxes, recording temperature readings at 5-minute intervals. These are plugged into computers at destination to extract PDF logs.
• Bluetooth & Cellular Beacons: Transmit real-time temperature, humidity, and light exposure alerts (indicating box openings) to our tracking dashboard.
• NIST-Calibrated Sensors: All logger sensors undergo strict calibration checks periodically to verify reading accuracy.

GDP Compliance & WHO Temperature Standards

We operate pharmaceutical transits under international safety bounds:

• GDP Audit Trails: Every transport segment—warehouse handling, road trucking, port transfer—is documented to prove cold chain continuity.
• WHO guidelines (TRS 961): Standardized temperature controls for storage of sensitive vaccines (+2°C to +8°C) or ultra-cold frozen vaccines (-70°C).
• Sanitization protocols: All vehicle container interiors are sanitized before cargo loading to prevent cross-contamination.
