TempChain Applications
Cold Chain Packaging for IVF & Fertility Medications
Qualified temperature-controlled packaging for IVF medications, gonadotropins and reproductive medicine supporting fertility clinics, specialist pharmacies and direct-to-patient delivery across the UK, Europe, North America, South America and Asia.
Cold Chain in Fertility Treatment — Getting It Right First Time
IVF and fertility medications including follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), GnRH agonists and progesterone are biologically sensitive products that must be stored and transported at +2°C to +8°C to maintain potency and safety. A TempChain failure during a fertility treatment cycle is not just a compliance issue. For the patient, it can mean the difference between a successful cycle and a cancelled one.
As more fertility treatments are dispensed via specialist pharmacies and delivered direct to patients at home, the demand for reliable, functional and easy-to-use cold chain packaging has grown significantly. Fertility clinics, homecare pharmacy providers and direct-to-patient dispensing services all need packaging that performs consistently, arrives in good condition and can be trusted by patients to protect their medication.
Puffin Packaging’s Lunda TempChain range is well suited to fertility medication’s cold chain requirements: qualified for +2°C to +8°C, GDP-aligned, practical for clinic and pharmacy teams, and available from a specialist supplier who understands the sensitivity and timing pressures of this market.
