Morris & Dickson, a leading pharmaceutical distributor, has
unveiled a groundbreaking solution for the transportation of
temperature-sensitive medications to customer pharmacies.
Leveraging cutting-edge technology, the company has implemented
Coldtainer and Aerosafe containers to ensure the safe and precise
delivery of climate-controlled medications.
In the pharmaceutical industry, maintaining the integrity of
medications during transit is essential to safeguard their potency
and efficacy. With the integration of Coldtainer and Aerosafe
containers into its network, Morris & Dickson has established a
new standard of excellence in medication delivery.
Coldtainers, a 12V refrigerating unit, are advanced containers
equipped with sophisticated cooling systems designed to maintain
consistent temperature levels throughout the transportation
process. These specialized containers provide an ideal environment
for shipping a wide range of temperature-sensitive medications,
including vaccines, insulin, and biologics.
Complementing the use of Coldtainers, Morris & Dickson has
also incorporated Aerosafe containers into its logistics
operations. Engineered with state-of-the-art insulation materials
and temperature control mechanisms, Aerosafe containers offer
unparalleled protection for medications during air transportation,
ensuring that they always remain within the required temperature
range.
"We are excited to introduce Coldtainers and Aerosafe containers
as part of our commitment to delivering excellence in
pharmaceutical distribution," said Paul Dickson Jr., Chief
Operations Officer at Morris & Dickson. "These innovative
containers represent a significant investment in ensuring the
safety and efficacy of medications during transit, ultimately
benefiting both our customers and the patients they serve."
These containers include a temperature logger inside the
container to track the temperature during the entire transit, which
is above and beyond industry standards and requirements. Because
the Aerosafe containers are reusable, this approach reduces wastage
to landfills as do Coldtainers. Both technologies are more
sustainable than Styrofoam ice chests which have been the go-to
option for cold transport until now.
Morris & Dickson's adoption of Coldtainer and Aerosafe
containers reaffirms the company's dedication to quality,
reliability, innovation and sustainability in pharmaceutical
distribution.
