What are Stability Chambers?
There are lots of different products out there and before they get to market, products need to be tested in all kinds of environmental conditions to make sure that both quality and shelf life are maintained. However, it's not easy to move products around just to replicate different climate conditions.
This is where stability chambers come in. Specially designed for product testing, stability chambers are vital pieces of equipment that are used to determine the shelf life of products such as drugs, electrical components, industrial materials and more using various parameters like temperatu...

Advantages of Mortuary Refrigerators
A mortuary is used for keeping the bodies of the deceased prior to identification, burial or cremation, awaiting post-mortem or disposal. Under normal procedures, the storage of human corpses may range from a few hours to a few days. In some rare cases though, a few weeks or longer may be needed.
This means that preventing or delaying the bodies from decomposition is necessary, which is why a refrigerated environment is recommended. Mortuary refrigerators are equipment that maintain a suitable environment for the bodies of the deceased. Nearly all modern health care facilities would have ...

New Data Logger Available Now
ETS has recently updated our range of data loggers with the all-new TempU-04!
Temperature data loggers, also known as digital temperature sensors, are portable measurement devices that record temperature changes over a period of time.
These devices can work independently and are used to monitor the temperature and humidity of shipments and storage of food, pharmaceuticals and chemicals.
Although data logging can be done manually by constant human observation, temperature data loggers are far more effective, accurate and reliable than taking periodic manual readings.

Debunking Medical-grade Refrigeration
In pharmacies, hospitals, and laboratories, cold storage is paramount in the storage of temperature-sensitive medications, vaccines, reagents, and patient samples. Consistent and reliable refrigeration is required for the optimal conditions that extend the shelf-life of drugs, vaccines and samples.
Why are clinical applications not using household freezers or refrigerators to do the job? Don't they also provide the same conditions for drugs and vaccines?
Some clinics would prefer to save costs by using household freezers and refrigerators to store drugs and medications. In fact, impro...

Data Logging in the Pharmaceutical Industry
The pharmaceutical industry is filled to the brim with requirements which must be absolutely fulfilled without exception. How medicines, and especially vaccines are stored, influences their efficiency and quality directly and may impact upon the customers and patients to whom they are administered.
There is not one uniform storage requirement for all existing drugs and medicines today. In reality, many drugs and medicines must be kept strictly within a precise temperature range and under particular conditions in order to remain safe for use. For example, overheated products promote the growth...

Working Against COVID-19 Vaccine Challenges
The COVID-19 pandemic presents new challenges for the global cold chain. The first few COVID-19 vaccines are using newly-developed mRNA technology that requires it to be kept at sub-zero temperatures during shipments. The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine has been extremely specific in that regard, requiring a chilly -70°C for long-term storage, while Moderna's must be kept at -20°C .
It is these requirements which pose an incredible challenge to provide an unbroken global cold chain – from point of manufacture to the last mile – the patients themselves.
The Last Mile Challenge To I...

How Blast Freezers Work In The Pharmaceutical Industry
In the laboratory environment, the preparation of samples or other materials for short or long-term cold storage involves cooling of the samples or materials before they can be stored. Although most labs would most likely have an ultra-low temperature freezer or other conventional freezers at hand, these may not be the right tools for the job.
1. Extending Unit Lifespans
An ultra-low temperature freezer which is designed for long-term cold storage may be used by the lab to prepare samples prior to long-term cold storage or to cool warmer samples. This practice though, may impact the l...
