Cold Chain

Vaccines and blood products are highly temperature-sensitive. Improper storage can reduce vaccine efficacy or damage blood components. Choosing the right cold chain equipment is a direct investment in service quality.

Know Your Needs

Before choosing, determine:

  • Product type — vaccines, blood, or reagents.
  • Storage volume — daily/weekly capacity.
  • Power availability — stable, frequent outages, or no power.

Types of Cold Chain Equipment

  1. Vaccine refrigerator — daily vaccine storage at the facility.
  2. Vaccine cold box / carrier — distribution and emergencies.
  3. Blood bank refrigerator — blood storage with tightly controlled temperature.

Match the Energy Source

The Dometic / B Medical line comes in several energy-source variants:

  • AC — for locations with stable electricity.
  • DC (solar-ready) — for areas without reliable power.
  • EG / EK — gas or kerosene alternatives for remote locations.

Don’t Forget After-Sales

Cold chain equipment needs maintenance and spare parts to keep temperatures stable. Make sure you buy from a provider with after-sales support.
