As the pharma/biopharma and biotech industries continue to evolve, the demand for cold storage is growing. Low and ultra-low temperature refrigerators, freezers, and cold spaces are critical in supporting the manufacturing, freezing, and storing of medicines, vaccines, therapeutics, biologic material, and other life science products.

Advancements in cold storage technology have expanded the variety of options to choose from, often making it difficult to identify the “just right” solution to meet the specific requirements of an application, product, or process.

Join FARRAR, a brand of Trane Technologies, on June 27 when we discuss the critical points to consider when selecting low and ultra-low temperature storage, plus the pros and cons of currently available cold storage technologies.

The primary challenges pharma and biopharma development and manufacturing organizations face are managing large volumes and adapting facility design to support the demand for critical materials.

CMOs, CDMOs, and 3PL companies have traditionally relied on ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezers to meet their process demands, having to individually fill each unit and being limited to a single set point.

‍As design innovations evolve, there are alternatives to the standard “freezer farm.” These solutions provide the needed flexibility, scalability, and simplified installation needed to help support optimized processes and return on investment.

Join Henry Papa, FARRAR Project Developer, to discuss how -70°C Large Scale Storage Suites can quickly scale to meet the demand of large volumes without having to adapt facility design, helping to simplify and optimize your processes.

We’re excited to be speaking and exhibiting at INTERPHEX 2024 in New York City!Visit FARRAR® at Booth #2267 to discover our high-performance, precision temperature-controlled cold storage solutions and learn about our latest innovations for life sciences.

Life sciences companies rely on cold storage solutions to protect millions of dollars of products. Temperature excursions bring risks to product viability and safety, making equipment flexibility and temperature recovery times key to preserving sample integrity, efficiency, and to the ability to deliver cutting-edge therapies.

In the past few years, the life sciences industry has been tested, and we have seen that cold storage solutions must be able to handle quick and dramatic increases in demand. At the same time, they must be energy efficient to help meet sustainability metrics.

Forced-air convection cooling assists global companies providing lifesaving therapies by reducing temperature excursions, improving equipment reliability, and increasing energy efficiency to help them meet both operational and sustainability goals.

As a pharma professional working in the GMP environment, you understand the critical importance of maintaining sample integrity, optimizing workflow, and conserving energy. Join us for our webinar on the latest advancements in cold storage technology for the pharmaceutical industry and discover how to stay ahead of the curve. Over the past decade, the demand for -60°C through -80°C assets in pharmaceutical manufacturing has skyrocketed. Clinical research investments have expanded, and commercial-scale needs continue transforming the industry. However, the lack of alternative solutions has made cold wall technology the gold standard.

But here’s the catch – cold-wall technologies were not designed or intended to perform in certain applications that are becoming increasingly common. Factors such as expedited commercialization of drug products, the need for bulk volumes, and the demand for flexible temperature setpoints have stressed traditional cold-wall systems.

Is there an alternative technology that can address these challenges? The answer is a resounding “yes.” Join us for this webinar to explore forced-air convection technology and discover how it can revolutionize your operations.

The need for -60°C through -80°C assets to help future-proof manufacturing facilities has increased significantly over the past decade - clinical research investments have expanded while commercial-scale needs continue to transform the landscape.

Cold wall remains the gold standard due to a lack of alternative solutions. Several factors, however, have placed stress on cold-wall technologies to perform in applications for which they were not designed or intended. These include:

• the expedited commercialization of drug product/drug substances,
• the need for bulk volumes, and
• increased demand for flexible temperature setpoints.

Does an alternative technology exist? The short answer is “yes.” Join us to learn more about FARRAR’s wide range of convection-cooling solutions, providing the performance and reliability you need.
