PCM packs: a specific temperature range for pharma

PCM stands for Phase Change Material. These are advanced coolants that hold a specific temperature stable for a long period, suited to pharma shipments that must stay strictly within 2 to 8°C or 15 to 25°C.

How do they differ from gel packs?

Gel packs are suited to chilled transport (below 0°C), but freezing can damage pharma products. PCM packs stay at a specific temperature (for example exactly 5°C) for the whole working time, which suits vaccines and sensitive biologicals.

Conditioning beforehand

PCM packs must be conditioned in a specific refrigerator before use, not in the freezer. We supply them with detailed instructions and, on request, validation reports.

Frequently asked questions

When should you use PCM instead of gel packs?
When you need to stay strictly within 2-8°C (vaccines, insulin, biologicals). Gel packs can drop below 0°C and damage products. PCM stays at the target temperature.
What temperature ranges?
Standard 2 to 8 °C (refrigerated pharma) and 15 to 25 °C (controlled room temperature). Other temperature ranges available on request.
How long does a PCM pack last?
Depending on insulation and ambient temperature, 48 to 120 hours. We perform validation tests for your specific setup.
Preconditioning required?
Yes, in a specialized refrigerator at the correct temperature (not a freezer). We include instructions with every shipment.
