KryoTrans
Website: www.kryotrans.com
Within the demanding environment of the pharmaceutical cold-chain there has never been a greater need for an utterly reliable, simple, passive and reusable container: especially one which can deliver at a competitive, cost-effective price.
The KryoTrans range, now in use with pharmaceutical companies all around the world, offers a powerful response to these challenges. With customers routinely reporting compliance times of 240 hours plus, even in the toughest ambient conditions, KryoTrans is building a formidable reputation for solving challenging and expensive problems.
KryoTrans stands for Quality, in respect of a tough and simple solution that delivers over and over, and Integrity, with the built-in data logger proving that the goods have arrived in compliance, again and again.
KryoTrans containers use phase-change configurations for -20, 2 - 8 and +20 requirements, with dry ice alternatives available for lower temperatures. The results of all shipments are recorded on the integral data logger, which not only records internal and external temperatures (as well as occasions upon which the container may have been opened) but also displays the internal temperature (showing highest and lowest encountered during the trip) for easy product acceptance and sign-off.
One configuration, all year round, takes the guesswork out of trip planning and simplifies inventory control; it also ensures that whether the issue is cold starting temperatures or exposure to high ambients at the destination the consignment will still be protected. The fact that one container will last upwards of three years (as will the logger, the logger battery and the PCMs) also makes a powerful contribution to environmental standards.

Created 25 years ago by an expert in the medical sector, Sofrigam has grown rapidly in the past five years and is now a leading company in the design, testing, manufacture and qualification of isothermal and refrigerating packaging for cold chain shipments selling to the largest pharmaceutical laboratories in the world.
SOFRIGAM counts 40 employees split between the head office housing the administration, sales, engineering department and metrological laboratory near Paris and the 2,500m2 factory near Lille. More than half of the turnover is made abroad, with a dedicated sales force and representatives in the Benelux, Australia and Nordics.
Expertise:
Our team of cold chain experts comprehensively analyses your cold chain expedition issues, from preparation to delivery. It focuses on offering standard or customized refrigerated packaging that is based on thermodynamic calculations and tests by our own lab to offer you the best options that combine maximum safety and optimal cost-efficiency.
Technology:
The performance of an isothermal and refrigerating packaging depends on the insulating material, the cool packs and the assembly. This is why SOFRIGAM is mainly using Polyurethane panels from the leading European producer of Polyurethane panels RECTICEL. The Polyurethane panels feature one of the best insulating capacities, homogeneous foam and a multi-layer coating to preserve it. It also makes the containers stronger and protects the products. Additionally, SOFRIGAM uses exclusive cooling packs and assembles the containers in a highly automated factory.
Products and services
SOFRIGAM standard or made to measure containers made from polyurethane panels ranges from 3,2l to 1000l useful volume containers for 96 hours shipping time in regular chill or frozen configurations. This range includes "pallet shippers" which increase the internal volume to enable savings in logistics cots and can be opened from the front for ease of load. A large number of these containers are qualified. The other product range includes "return to sender" rigid container with Polyurethane panels and non-rigid cool boxes.
SOFRIGAM metrological laboratory carries out temperature tests on SOFRIGAM products, on miscellaneous packages and for feasibility tests and SOFRIGAM also provides qualification files that put together standard procedures, reflecting performance analysis tailored to each solution.
