Future-proof your biologics cold chain

Crying over product loss after freezing?

Protein instability after freezing can ruin an entire batch of biologics. Controlled freezing of drug substances in single-use bags and bottles helps manufacturers maintain product quality and increase productivity.

Challenges in biopharma cold chain management

  • Product quality: Uncontrolled freezing can compromise critical quality attributes of drug substances, leading to instability, cryoconcentration, and loss of product integrity.

  • Compliance: Without validated & documented freeze–thaw processes, GMP‑aligned contamination control and data integrity requirements are at risk of non‑compliance.

  • Scalability: Biologics manufacturers face complexities when scaling from clinical phases to commercial production without compromising product quality.
