Cold chain refers to a series of temperature-controlled supply chain processes that are used to maintain the efficacy and safety of these sensitive products. This includes proper storage, transportation, and handling of the products from the manufacturer to the end user. It is crucial in pharmaceutical distribution because several medications, vaccines, and other healthcare products are sensitive to temperature and can become ineffective or even dangerous if they are exposed to temperatures outside of their recommended range.
SpotSee provides a wide range of custom solutions for a variety of industries in the cold supply chain. The products below are the best-selling products in the pharmaceutical industry:

- FreezeSafe

Maintaining the cold chain is especially critical for vaccines, which can be rendered ineffective if exposed to temperatures outside of the recommended range. In addition to vaccines, many other medications, such as insulin, certain antibiotics, and certain biologics, require refrigeration or freezing to maintain their efficacy.
Overall, the cold chain is essential in pharmaceutical distribution to ensure that sensitive medications and vaccines maintain their efficacy and safety, and that patients receive the intended benefits of these products.
