How to Choose the Right Medical Cooler Box ?

 A passive medical cooler box is a specialized insulated container designed to maintain a specific temperature range for safely transporting temperature-sensitive medical items like vaccines, blood, and pharmaceuticals. They are available in both using ice packs or phase-change materials to keep safety temperature  .

When choosing a medical cooler box, important features to consider include:

· Temperature Range: Different medications require different ranges (e.g., 2-8°C for most vaccines and insulin, or frozen ranges -25~-15°C, 15~25℃  for certain other materials).

· Cold Life/Duration: The length of time the cooler can maintain the required temperature, which varies from a few hours for travel bags to several days for lab-qualified carriers using advanced insulation.

· Capacity: Available in a wide range of sizes, from small cases for a few pens or vials to large 100+ liter boxes for commercial transport of blood or numerous vaccines.

· Portability/Design: Features like handles, shoulder straps, or even wheels are available depending on the size and intended use.

· Durability: Many professional-grade boxes are made from durable, shock-resistant materials like high-density PE (HDPE).

· Monitoring: Some models include built-in thermometers or even connect to smartphone apps to monitor the internal temperature in real-time. 

 · Verify certifications : like ISO ,CE to meet  safety standards. Prioritize containers with reliable temperature retention and easy cleaning for hassle-free cold chain transport.
