Abstract
The present invention relates to the field of the transportation and the storage of thermally labile goods such as pharmaceuticals, and to a container system and apparatus (40) employing a total loss evaporation agent such as dry ice. In particular, but not necessarily restricted thereto, the present invention relates to a container system and apparatus (40) for the transportation and the temperature controlled storage of ultra-low temperature, low volume, high value goods.
Claims20
A low temperature transport/storage assembly comprising an outer carton, internal insulation, a load volume and a container for dry ice;
- wherein the outer carton is provided with a base and sidewalls and a cover;
- wherein the internal insulation comprises base and sidewall insulation panels, operably arranged to line the base and inside walls of the outer carton defining an inner carton, wherein the base and sidewall insulation panels are fastened together in an airtight fashion;
- a first sleeve arranged to line an inside face of the base and sidewall insulation panels;
- a second load receiving sleeve having sidewalls, the second load receiving sleeve spacing the second load receiving sleeve from the first sleeve, the second load receiving sleeve defining the load volume;
- wherein the container for dry ice comprises a base and an oppositely presented aperture for placement of dry ice therein, the base of the container for dry ice being operably placed upon the second load receiving sleeve;
- wherein the container for dry ice has a flat base whereby to abut against the second load receiving sleeve and any cover therefor.
A low temperature transport/storage assembly comprising an outer carton, internal insulation, a load volume and a container for dry ice;
- wherein the outer carton is provided with a base and sidewalls and a cover;
- wherein the internal insulation comprises base and sidewall insulation panels, operably arranged to line the base and inside walls of the outer carton defining an inner carton, wherein the base and sidewall insulation panels are fastened together in an airtight fashion;
- a first sleeve arranged to line an inside face of the base and sidewall insulation panels;
- a second load receiving sleeve having sidewalls, the second load receiving sleeve spacing the second load receiving sleeve from the first sleeve, the second load receiving sleeve defining the load volume;
- wherein the container for dry ice comprises a base and an oppositely presented aperture for placement of dry ice therein, the base of the container for dry ice being operably placed upon the second load receiving sleeve;
- wherein the container for dry ice has a flat base whereby to abut against the second load receiving sleeve and any cover therefor, wherein the container for dry ice includes first and second extended walls configured to pivot inwardly towards the flat base.
A low temperature transport/storage assembly comprising an outer carton, internal insulation, a load volume and a container for dry ice;
- wherein the outer carton is provided with a base and sidewalls and a cover;
- wherein the internal insulation comprises base and sidewall insulation panels, operably arranged to line the base and inside walls of the outer carton defining an inner carton, wherein the base and sidewall insulation panels are fastened together in an airtight fashion;
- a first sleeve arranged to line an inside face of the base and sidewall insulation panels;
- a second load receiving sleeve having sidewalls, the second load receiving sleeve spacing the second load receiving sleeve from the first sleeve, the second load receiving sleeve defining the load volume;
- wherein the container for dry ice comprises a base and an oppositely presented aperture for placement of dry ice therein, the base of the container for dry ice being operably placed upon the second load receiving sleeve;
- wherein the container for dry ice has a flat base whereby to abut against the second load receiving sleeve and any cover therefor, wherein the first sleeve laterally surrounds the second load receiving sleeve.
