UPS Adds Cryogenic Shipping to Its Temperature-Sensitive Portfolio in Europe
10 Mars 2016 - 3:00PM
UPS (NYSE: UPS) announced the launch of UPS Temperature
True
® Cryo in Europe, providing healthcare
customers access to end-to-end product protection and capability to
ship parcels in a cryogenic environment. The service includes
real-time tracking and intervention, which, when combined with
UPS’s risk mitigation solutions and global network of control
towers, will provide complete visibility for shipments at every
stage of the supply chain journey.
This solution uses Cryoport's leading-edge cryogenic containers,
which allow UPS customers to use liquid nitrogen stored in dry
vapour form to keep products frozen at -150°C for 10 days while in
transit or storage. When meeting minimum volume levels, shipments
can also be paired with UPS Proactive Response®
Secure, a financial protection service that provides coverage for
these time- and temperature-sensitive shipments.
"When products requiring cryopreservation are on the move,
customers want peace of mind that their shipments are safeguarded,
so bringing this solution to the Europe market was a logical next
step as we continue to expand our best-in-class logistics services
globally for the healthcare and life science industries,” said Jan
Denecker, Director of Healthcare Marketing & Strategy, UPS
Europe. “UPS Temperature True Cryo combines innovative packaging,
24/7 monitoring and intervention capabilities for the most critical
time- and temperature-sensitive specimens across tissue
engineering, regenerative medicine, gene therapy, biopharmaceutical
research and reproductive health.”
The most recent UPS Pain in the Chain survey, a global study
that measures the top pain points in healthcare supply chain
management, shows that product security, damage and spoilage
continue to be top of mind for healthcare executives. The new UPS
Temperature True Cryo service along with UPS Proactive Response
Secure, will add tremendous value to researchers, lab technicians
and healthcare practitioners shipping often-invaluable specimens
and samples requiring cryopreservation.
The UPS Temperature True® portfolio offers
broad storage, transportation and packaging services for products
ranging from cryogenic to ambient, specifically tailored for
companies in the pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device
industries. These services are complemented by extensive regulatory
expertise and a global network of 51 UPS healthcare-dedicated
facilities.
