Vaccine Carrying Bag - 10 Litres

Vaccine Carrying Bag - 10 Litres

The 10 litre Portal Thermal Vaccine Bags are used to keep items in the cold chain over short distances, or between two locations in a district, for example between wards and clinics, or transport to single-location community projects. They will keep the contents (vaccines or medicines) in the cold chain for up to 3hrs40 minutes without additional coolant, without the need for constant refrigeration.

The 10-litre cold chain transport bag has a capacity for up to 80HPV packs, or slightly fewer if coolant packs are used to extend the time in the cold chain. They are most commonly used for the transfer of temperature-sensitive vaccines or medicines between two locations, or for community outreach programmes lasting a few hours.

Extensive Independent testing has been conducted and full reports are available upon request. It should be noted that time contents remain below 8°C will vary depending on the load, ambient temperature, quantity and positioning of the coolant and temperature of contents when loaded. It is always advised to use a data logger to continually measure the temperature of contents.

Tests in 2020 shows these bags holding cold chain for up to 3 hours 40 minutes without coolant. We always advise using coolant to extend cold chain timings, 4 small blocks and 8 gels.
