For medical professionals such as pharmacists, it is highly recommended to store any temperature-sensitive medication in either a medical grade laboratory refrigerator or a pharmacy refrigerator, as household fridges cannot maintain the required temperature uniformity and should therefore be used ...
During the Medlab Asia event which took place in Bangkok, Thailand, in August, we had the privilege of hosting a round table event which brought together healthcare stakeholders from diverse backgrounds. The event provided insights into the challenges and learnings from maintaining the integrity of cold chain systems, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mr. Marnick Dewilde, B Medical ...
This is critical for many types of medicines, vaccines, reagents, and biological samples, which is the reason why laboratories, hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and more employ medical-grade refrigerators to protect their samples from ambient ...
An optimised biomedical cold storage environment, especially when equipped with Ultra-Low Freezers, can reliably store even the most thermosensitive biological samples for research purposes. In recent years, several beneficial cell samples and microbial strains have been discovered, engineered, and studied. As a result of these scientific discoveries and other technological breakthroughs, ...
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues across the world, it’s more important than ever to get a flu vaccine, as some predict natural immunity to be decreased following last year’s lockdowns.[i] To make sure influenza vaccinations are effective, they must be stored at the proper temperature. At the end of the cold chain, safe vaccine storage can only be assured through quality ...
Therefore, it is critical to maintain vaccines, medicines, and biological samples protected from temperature variations and safely store and transport them across their supply chain networks. The medical cold chain, the network of medical-grade refrigerators, freezers, and transport solutions designed to always keep biologicals ...
Blood, plasma, and other blood components are utilised every day in clinical and research environments for a multitude of uses, from life-saving transfusions to important haematology tests. All samples used for these medical activities have in common that they require to be stored and transported at certain temperatures. But why is this the case and what storage solutions are available for ...
Reliable medical refrigeration solutions can increase the public’s trust in immunisation campaigns and therefore bolster vaccine acceptance. In 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) released its list of the top 10 global health threats. Among the threats topping that list were another global influenza pandemic, Ebola and other high threat pathogens, and vaccine hesitancy. The WHO ...
B Medical Systems deployed thousands of its medical refrigeration solutions to support the COVID-19 Vaccine Cold Chain in Ghana. The country of Ghana, situated between the Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, and Togo, has successfully carried out many vaccination campaigns since 1978 when the country adopted the Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI). Since then, there has been a decrease in cases of ...
To be able to run successful and effective COVID-19 immunisation campaigns, governments and organisations around the world need to ensure that a reliable vaccine cold chain for the safe storage and transport of their vaccines is set up to protect the doses from temperature variations that could result in them losing their potency. B Medical Systems S.a r.l, a global leader in vaccine cold ...
Vaccine monitoring throughout the cold chain until final delivery is essential. Vaccines are a key component in our health care system. One of the most cost-effective and efficient public health strategies is immunization. The end of many disease outbreaks can be directly attributed to the development of their respective vaccines. They have an immense societal contribution, which is why it is ...

Vaccines are a key component in our health care system. One of the most cost-effective and efficient public health strategies is immunization. The end of many disease outbreaks can be directly attributed to the development of their respective vaccines. They have an immense societal contribution, which is why it is crucial that the delivery of vaccines through the cold chain is monitored and ...

Explore how B Medical Systems can ensure safe storage of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. The term “herd immunity” has been commonly used since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to describe a phenomenon in which a large portion of a community (the herd) becomes immune to a disease, making the spread of disease from person to person unlikely. Herd immunity can be reached when a ...
Vaccine Storage and Handling Vaccines and other medical products are essential parts of a healthy society. They provide relief from diseases and suffering. They are designed to improve the quality of life for people. As with any other product, they are manufactured in facilities located near urban centers. When shipped elsewhere, transportation is provided by a cold chain process in place to ...

Medical Refrigerators are used to store temperature sensitive drugs and vaccines. Many vaccines require storage between 2°C and 8°C. Time spent outside of this temperature range are known as temperature excursions. Vaccines and drugs have something known as a drug stability budget, which is the total amount of time the substance can be kept outside of its recommended storage range. It ...

On 1 January 2020, the EU entered a new round in the fight against climate change. As the clock struck twelve, a restriction on the use of F-gases came into force – unveiling a future shake-up in the world of medical refrigeration. While the Regulation 517/2014 compels all laboratories to replace polluting cooling equipment with green refrigerants, it also promises to foster innovation in ...
Global warming is a danger for the planet but also a major threat to public health. B Medical Systems develops “green” medical solutions addressing the UN Sustainable Development Goals. They enable thousands of children to live healthy, in particular in the most remote communities that are vulnerable to rising temperatures. The report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate ...
