Safety and precision are non-negotiable in the life science industry, especially when transporting temperature-sensitive materials. From advanced vaccines and biologics to diagnostic samples and clinical trial shipments, these products require strict temperature control to preserve efficacy, stability, and compliance.
Dry ice is critical in maintaining cold chain integrity for some of these materials. Its consistent temperature of -78.5°C has become the gold standard for transporting products that must remain deeply frozen throughout transit.
In addition, it’s also widely used in pharmaceutical, biotech, and research fields, not just for transport but because precise temperature control is essential to scientific success.
Why Dry Ice Is Essential for Temperature-Sensitive Shipments
Dry ice remains the most reliable solution for preserving temperature-sensitive materials in transit. With a sublimation point of -78.5°C (-109.3°F), it provides a consistently low temperature environment critical for products that cannot withstand even minor temperature fluctuations.
Due to its effectiveness and dependability, dry ice has become the preferred choice for transporting a wide range of high-value materials such as:
- mRNA vaccines require ultra-low temperatures to maintain molecular stability throughout the shipping process.
- Blood, plasma, and tissue samples must be kept frozen to preserve their biological function and ensure accurate analysis.
- Reagents, enzymes, and proteins are highly sensitive and can denature or lose functionality when exposed to elevated temperatures.
- Cell and gene therapies rely on controlled low-temperature environments to stay viable from origin to destination.
Any disruption to the cold chain caused by equipment failure, delays, or inadequate cooling can compromise the viability of the products. It can also affect the accuracy of test results or lead to regulatory violations.
All of these are detrimental, and that is where dry ice plays a crucial role. Dry ice protects against temperature fluctuations, maintaining the stability of sensitive materials during transit while ensuring safe and compliant delivery.
Key Advantages of Using Dry Ice in Life Sciences Logistics
Dry ice plays a vital role in life science logistics thanks to its reliable performance and ability to protect temperature-sensitive materials. Here are the key reasons it remains essential for cold chain applications:
- Low temperature: Dry ice maintains a consistent temperature of -78.5°C (-109.3°F), making it ideal for preserving the integrity of sensitive products such as enzymes, vaccines, and cell and gene therapies.
- No liquid residue: Unlike traditional ice, dry ice sublimates directly from solid to gas, leaving no moisture behind. It helps prevent contamination, leakage, and damage to packaging and product contents.
- Passive cooling: Because it doesn’t require external power, dry ice is ideally suited for long-distance shipping, remote destinations, and environments where electrical refrigeration is unavailable or unreliable.
- Regulatory acceptance: Dry ice is fully approved and regulated for transport by key global authorities, like the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), and other international regulatory bodies.
- Emergency reliability: Dry ice can serve as a reliable, independent cooling source in the event of equipment failures, delays, or power outages. It helps maintain cold chain integrity when it matters most.
With these advantages, dry ice has become a foundational element of reliable and compliant cold chain logistics in the life science industry.
