Evolution 1600 Tower Universal Pallet
The Tower Evolution1600 Universal is ideally suited for the transportation of:
Life Science Products:
- Vaccines (including Covid 19 and ABIs)
- Biotech products (Oncology, cardiovascular, etc)
- Insulins
- Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API)
- Drug Substance
- Semi-finished and finished products
- Any other product requiring a stable temperature environment for transportation
Data loggers are built into all Tower containers, logging internal temperatures from -95°C (-139°F) up to 50°C (122°F). Users can get text or email notification of temperature excursions, as well as automatic data downloads throughout the transit (in-flight excluded) from loggers within range of the CX Gateway device. The loggers are built to FDA, USP, EU and WHO standards.
The Evolution 1600 Universal Double Pallet container is designed to be used all year round to all destinations using one packaging instruction – avoiding extra levels of complication and uncertainty within either validation or operational control.
