Did you know that the refrigeration and preservation of medicines is essential to ensure these do not deteriorate?
As we all know, the availability of medicines is of vital importance in our lives, even more in the current situation. What would you do if you needed medicines for you or for your loved ones and could not have access to such medicines?
We are used to having anything we need and when we need it. Many of us have not thought about this, but it is worth stopping for a moment and thinking about this in the global pandemic scenario.
To guarantee the availability of medicines, not only do we need to guarantee that these are manufactured and distributed, but also that they are stored in the optimum refrigeration and/or preservation conditions, both at chemist’s and at hospitals. As an expert in the refrigeration and preservation of all types of products, including medicines, the aim of INTARCON is to offer its know-how and expertise.
Medicines must be stored in a dry area, protected from heat and light, according to the instructions on the packaging, in which we can find three different temperature ranges:
Three types of refrigeration units are required, according to the temperature range required to preserve medicines:
According to the size, there is a wide variety of rooms/enclosures used to store medicines, such as:
The units required to guarantee proper refrigeration and preservation of medicines can be easily selected using the refrigeration unit calculation software. The following must be taken into account:
Industrial units and warehouses | Refrigeration chamber | Display fridges and cabinets | Refrigeration furniture | |
Controlled ambient temp. (20°C ÷ 25°C) | Industrial climate control equipment | Commercial climate control equipment | — | — |
Controlled refrigeration temp. (2°C ÷ 8°C) | Industrial climate control equipment, medium temperatures | Semi-compact commercial refrigeration equipment, medium temperatures | Condensing unit for commercial refrigeration applications, medium temperatures | Built-in refrigeration equipment, medium temperatures |
Freezing temp. (-25°C ÷ -15°C) | Industrial refrigeration equipment, low temperatures | Semi-compact commercial refrigeration equipment, low temperatures | Condensing unit for commercial refrigeration applications, low temperatures | Built-in refrigeration equipment, low temperatures |
It is of vital importance to ensure that the cold chain is not interrupted when refrigeration medicines. Therefore, refrigeration equipment can be installed with the cutting-edge kiconex system, which provides an internet connection to the equipment and installations, allowing data to be stored on the cloud.
Through its platform, both the installation company and owner of the installation can access the information remotely to supervise and control the installation. These systems provide data charts in real time and can be used to adjust the installation’s refrigeration parameters and settings.
