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.
Tower’s global network operates common processes and standards delivering consistency for customers. The network offers customers access to the complete range of Tower’s products with a local team of experts available to understand specific customer needs: this ensures that Tower delivers, where and when needed.
Tower cold chain recognise the role we play in working with our stakeholders to move from a linear supply chain to a circular one – providing a solution that supports our mutual ambition of waste reduction through reusability keeping our containers in use for longer reducing the need for disposal and recycling of temperature controlled packaging.
