This Insulataed Kits, already qualified, maintain the necessary temperature range during the distribution of the different vaccines against COVID-19, being available in both disposable and reusable formats. 

We know the requirements of each laboratory for the storage, transport and distribution of the different vaccines against COVID-19. 

These days, the vaccines that are already in the distribution process in Spain are: Pfizer, they are kept at -80ºC, from their production to the distribution centers; Modern at -20ºC; AstraZeneca and Janssen whose temperature range is from +2 to + 8ºC. Our insulated solutions are qualified to ensure the necessary temperature for all of them. 

We also have packaging for what is known as last mile logistics, that is, the journey between the distribution center and the vaccination point. In the case of Pfizer’s vaccine, the temperature range in this last mile changes, it distributes and keeps at a refrigerated temperature between +2 and + 8ºC. 

We are proud that Exeltainer solutions are being used in many regions of Spain, for the different needs of each Covid-19 vaccines. 

We have the right products for all these storage temperature ranges, as well as different sizes for each need of our customers.
