THERMOSAFE
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about THERMOSAFE from 3G Electric.
What is the THERMOSAFE insulated shipping container with a 3-inch urethane foam insert used for?
The THERMOSAFE insulated shipping container with a 3-inch urethane foam insert, such as models HR27P3 and HR19P, is designed for temperature-sensitive shipments that require enhanced thermal protection. The 3-inch wall thickness provides a higher level of insulation compared to thinner inserts, making it suitable for transporting pharmaceuticals, biological specimens, chemicals, and perishable goods over extended transit periods. These containers feature a blue plastic exterior and are available in various dimensions to accommodate different payload sizes. They are commonly used in cold chain logistics where maintaining a specific temperature range is critical.
What pack sizes are available for THERMOSAFE laboratory shipping kits?
THERMOSAFE laboratory shipping kits are available in pack sizes including 15 and 33. For example, the Lab Tube Mailer (MPN 473) comes in a 33-pack, while the Laboratory Mailer (MPN 571) is supplied in a 15-pack. These kits include white mailers designed for the safe transport of sample tubes and other small specimens. The pack size determines the number of individual mailers provided, allowing users to choose based on their shipping volume. These kits are suitable for clinical, pharmaceutical, and research laboratory applications.
What are the exterior dimensions of the THERMOSAFE 390 insulated shipping container?
The THERMOSAFE 390 insulated shipping container (MPN 390) has exterior dimensions of 16 5/8 inches x 10 1/4 inches x 12 inches. It features a gray plastic exterior and a 2.25-inch thick urethane foam insert, with a corrugated cardboard outer box. These dimensions make it suitable for medium-sized temperature-sensitive shipments. The container is part of the THERMOSAFE line of insulated shipping solutions, which includes various sizes to match different payload requirements.
What is the difference between THERMOSAFE insulated containers with 2-inch and 2.25-inch foam inserts?
The difference lies in the thickness of the urethane foam insert, which affects thermal insulation performance. A 2-inch insert, as found in the THERMOSAFE container (MPN 300), provides a certain level of thermal protection, while a 2.25-inch insert, used in models like MPN 390 and MPN 302, offers slightly greater insulation due to the increased wall thickness. Both types are used for temperature-sensitive shipments, but the choice depends on the specific temperature requirements and transit duration. The 2.25-inch version may be preferred for shipments requiring additional thermal stability.
Are THERMOSAFE insulated shipping containers available with different exterior materials?
Yes, THERMOSAFE insulated shipping containers are available with different exterior materials. Some models, such as MPN 300 and MPN 422, feature a corrugated cardboard outer box, while others, like MPN HR27P3 and MPN HR19P, have a plastic exterior. The choice of exterior material can impact durability, moisture resistance, and weight. Corrugated cardboard is lightweight and cost-effective, while plastic exteriors offer greater durability and protection against moisture. Both types incorporate urethane foam inserts for thermal insulation.
What color options are available for THERMOSAFE insulated shipping containers?
THERMOSAFE insulated shipping containers are available in gray and blue. For instance, the MPN 300 and MPN 390 models are gray, while the MPN 422, HR27P3, and HR19P models are blue. The color may be used to differentiate between product lines or applications, though it does not affect thermal performance. Laboratory shipping kits, such as MPN 473 and MPN 571, are supplied in white. Color options can assist with inventory management and visual identification.
