Envirotainer bolsters its testing capabilities for reliable pharmaceutical distribution

Published: 10-Jul-2024

The company now has testing facilities for its shipping containers that focuses on temperature, humidity and electromagentic compatibility

Envirotainer, a temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical shipments specialist, has enhanced its testing capabilities with three new testing chambers — including an electromagnetic compatibility chamber (EMC). 

 

Ensuring successful distribution through testing

This allows the company to test its container performance at a wider range of temperatures and humidity values, with one large chamber that can handle temperatures between -40 to +60 °C, as well as one small chamber for ultra-low temperature conditions down to -70°C.

These chambers will ensure Envirotainer’s containers are performing successfully, meaning all pharmaceuticals distributed by the company will be received by patients on the other end unspoiled.

 

The addition of an EMC chamber 

As well as the bolstering of its climate testing capabilities, Envirotainer has invested in an EMC chamber to verify if containers are meeting electromagnetic compatibility standards.

The company can now certify emissions for its containers below one GHz, which expedites the approval process and delivery times for customers. In the future, Envirotainer plans to invest in testing capabilities up to 6 GHz, as well as assessing how radiation impacts packaging.

“These advancements mean our customers can transport their sensitive pharmaceuticals with greater confidence. Our enhanced testing capabilities allow us to simulate extreme conditions, ensuring that our containers perform reliably no matter where they are shipped. This translates to fewer risks and more consistent protection for valuable medical products, ultimately helping to safeguard patient health,” said Camilla Engbrink, Chief Technology Officer at Envirotainer.
