Celsius® FFT|FFTp Shipper

There are dedicated Shippers for each Celsius^® FFT|FFTp size: one-unit and four-unit shippers are available for 2 to 6L containers, and a one-unit version is available for the 12L container.

The Celsius^® FFT|FFTp Box Shipper has been qualified according to stringent regulations for shipping containers: ASTM-D4169 at Assurance Level 1 for mechanical performance and ISTA 7D extreme profiles for thermal performance. Together, these qualifications conducted by independent laboratories ensure the reliability and integrity of your high-value biopharmaceutical product during frozen shipment.

Maximum and minimum configurations (i.e., the number of bags in a shipper and the number of shippers in a pallet) as well as maximum and minimum fill volumes were tested for each of the shipper sizes against both mechanical and thermal criteria. All configurations tested against the ISTA 7D extreme summer profile passed the requirements for the shipper to provide adequate insulation and refrigeration to maintain the Celsius^® FFT|FFTp below –40°C for at least 96 hours. This qualification against such an extreme temperature profile serves to demonstrate how well the shippers will perform in actual shipping lane thermal conditions. While we know actual shipping lane thermal tests must still be conducted, the pre-qualification of the Celsius^® FFT|FFTp Box Shipper provides you with strong confidence that our product will match your requirements.
