In order to transport thermosensitive products correctly, M&G recommends the use of temperature stabilizers: HDPE plates filled with Phase Change Material. PCMs are substances which store and release energy during their phase change. When melting, they slowly absorb a large quantity of heat from the surrounding environment. Temperature stabilizers must be kept at +2°C for at least 12 hours before use – until material solid. inside When becomes used combination with our isothermal bags, the temperature maintained stable for hours without any risks of overheating or overcooling. Moreover,...

Benefits ✓ The plates can be directly in contact with the material transported ✓ No risk of overheating or overcooling ✓ The temperature is maintained stable for several hours ✓ LCD thermometer showing the temperature of the plate ✓ Four different sizes available, designed to perfectly fit inside H-BIN BIOTRANSPORT bags and containers. ✓ Three different temperatures available for different transport Quantity of material ✓ When the quantity of material inside the bags increases, the number of temperature stabilizers required decreases. ✓ When H-BIN BIOTRANSPORT bags are completely full,...

Since the early phases of designing and prototyping, several tests were carried out on BIO 04PP and 06PP to evaluate their performances. In charge of the certification of the system (bags + temperature stabilizers) was the Laboratory SSCCP, a special body of the Chamber of Commerce of Milan, accredited as a certification laboratory (accreditation number SSCCP 0173) by ACCREDIA, the Italian Accreditation Body. By using a climate chamber, different climatic conditions with temperatures ranging from -12°C to +40°C were simulated. The aim was to test the thermal insulation of the bags and their...
