Optimizing Cold Chain Logistics: Akuratemp’s Innovation in 2025 and Beyond
As the demand for reliable, compliant, and cost-effective cold chain logistics continues to rise, Akuratemp remains at the forefront—developing smarter packaging solutions, connecting directly with the industry at leading conferences, and helping customers ship with confidence. Here’s a look at what’s new at Akuratemp and how we’re shaping the future of temperature-controlled shipping.
Rethinking Frozen Shipping: Safer Alternatives to Dry Ice
Dry ice has long been a go-to for frozen shipping, but it brings significant safety and compliance risks—especially on commercial aircraft. Because dry ice releases CO₂ in low-ventilation environments, it’s regulated heavily by both IATA and the DOT. This can lead to delays, offloading issues, or even rejected shipments.
Akuratemp’s Frozen Domestic Smart Parcel Shippers offer a smart alternative. These solutions maintain frozen temperatures (below -20°C) without the regulatory hurdles of dry ice. For organizations looking to simplify logistics while protecting sensitive specimens, these shippers provide cost savings, safety, and peace of mind.
