When it comes to keeping things cold, various solutions have evolved to cater to different needs. Among these, Phase Change Materials (PCMs), dry ice, and traditional ice packs are commonly used solutions. Each has its own set of characteristics, benefits, and drawbacks, making them the perfect or not-so-perfect solution depending on the need. In this [...]
Natural disasters and emergencies can strike anytime, leaving individuals and communities vulnerable to their devastating effects. From earthquakes and hurricanes to wildfires and pandemics, being prepared for emergencies is crucial to ensure the safety and survival of yourself and others. Provided in this blog is a comprehensive guide to emergency disaster preparedness, covering the essential [...]
Phase Change Material (PCM) is a remarkable substance that can absorb and release thermal energy during phase transitions, making it a game-changer in maintaining stable refrigerated, frozen, and ultra-cold temperatures for sensitive products and materials during transit or storage. Preparing PCM effectively is crucial for optimizing its performance and could be the difference between your [...]
Thermal Custom Packaging (TCP), a company specializing in cutting-edge thermal management solutions for every link of the cold chain, is proud to announce a groundbreaking achievement in cold chain technology. In recent internal tests, TCP’s advanced Phase Change Materials (PCMs) have demonstrated superior performance, outlasting the traditional use of dry ice by a significant margin. [...]
A larger facility will enable the company to fulfill larger orders for the food and healthcare industries Miami, FL, July 12, 2023 – Thermal Custom Packaging (TCP), a company specializing in phase change material cold packaging for every link of the cold chain, has expanded its physical footprint to support larger corporations. A new facility [...]
As discussed in our last cost analysis here, we broke down the lifetime costs of using dry ice vs. using something more sustainable such as Phase Change Materials. In this cost analysis, we will focus on the supplemental expenses such as packaging and the fact that a large amount of dry ice goes to waste from sublimation. Companies [...]
Although in their infancy, liquid biopsies are proving to be a promising procedure for safe, quick, and effective cancer screening, detection, and monitoring. Liquid biopsy tests are conducted on blood samples that examine biomarkers shed by tumors such as cancer cells or pieces of tumor DNA present in the body fluids of patients with cancer. [...]
Dry ice, also known as solid carbon dioxide (CO2), is a popular choice for a wide range of applications such as food preservation, transportation of medical supplies, and industrial cleaning. It is known for its ability to maintain a consistently low temperature, making it a reliable option for the above-mentioned applications. However, there are costs [...]
Companies can no longer hide from the consumer demand for green products and processes. A recent study found that 66% of consumers worldwide are willing to pay a premium for products they perceive to be sustainable. When it comes to frozen food and grocery delivery, there are a few easy steps to keep this [...]
Research has found that the helical structure of double-stranded DNA is destabilized by increasing temperature. Above a critical temperature (the melting temperature), the two strands in duplex DNA become fully separated, degrading the DNA. Below this temperature, the structural effects are localized (Driessen et al., 2014). If DNA temperatures are not closely controlled, forensic evidence [...]
