Cold chain is a temperature-controlled supply chain that maintains a consistent temperature range throughout the entire supply chain, from production to distribution. This is essential for preserving the quality and integrity of temperature-sensitive products such as perishable food items, delicate chemicals, and life-saving pharmaceuticals.
At FET, we recognise the critical importance of this process and go the extra mile to ensure that your goods are delivered and stored under precise temperature controls. Our dedicated efforts guarantee that products reach you in the TW6 area in optimal condition, safeguarding their safety, efficacy, and value. With FET, you can trust that your items are in capable hands, providing reassurance with every delivery.
The cold chain consists of three main components, each of which must be integrated to ensure the safe transport and storage of vaccines:
- Transport and storage equipment
- Trained personnel
- Efficient management procedures
Whether it's part of a Clinical Trial or the distribution of Commercial Products, FET understands the need for reliable cold chain transportation for temperature-sensitive shipments.
We specialise in refrigeration, chilled, and controlled atmosphere temperature-controlled transportation, as well as cold storage. Our team is trained to manage cold chain logistics, ensuring that all products remain within their required temperature range throughout transit, especially in critical zones.
All key members of the FET team understand the necessity of temperature stability during transit, particularly within the following ranges:
- 15-25°C, Controlled ambient
- 2-8°C, Refrigerated
- -20°C, Frozen
