New reefer sensor to cater to pharmaceuticals

Carrier Transicold has launched a new temperature sensor calibration function for its PrimeLINE container refrigeration units, in an effort to comply with Good Distribution Practice (GDP) guidelines for pharmaceutical transport.

Reefer container shipping has lately tried to compete with airfreight over handling temperature-controlled pharmaceuticals, offering lower costs although over a long travel time.

The calibration capability will be included in software loaded into every new PrimeLINE unit, including those with Edge technology, which aims to save energy.
