If you are involved in temperature-controlled parcel shipment supply chains for the pharmaceutical or life science industries, watch and download the slides of our webinar Performance of Thermal Shipping Systems Following Distribution – Part I.
Learn about the limitations of ISTA’s 7E “Testing Standard for Thermal Transport Packaging Used in Parcel Delivery System Shipment.” ISTA 7E is often used as the protocol to evaluate the ability of thermal shipping systems for parcel shipments to deliver temperature-sensitive healthcare products to awaiting customers.
WESTPAK’s subject matter experts, Principal Engineer Edmund Tang and Production Manager Eric Cardiel successfully undertook and oversaw the research project. In Part I of their comprehensive two-part investigation, they meticulously designed and conducted tests and skillfully summarized the results of nine (9) different variables.
Included in Part I:
• Thermal performance of Thermal Shipping Systems following experimental test inputs, including ISTA 2A and 3A, Drop, Vibration, Damaged Insulation, Punctured Gel Bricks, and Packout at Ambient Conditions.
• Thermal performance degradation of thermal shippers when exposed to extreme inputs during the distribution environment.
• Thermal difference between packing thermal shippers in refrigerated vs. ambient environments.
The webinar video (39 min) and slide deck are available on demand at no cost.
