Celsius® SSM Shipper

The Celsius^® SSM Shipper is a robust, pre-qualified, reusable shipping solution that ensures the reliable transportation of frozen 8.3L and 16.6L Celsius^® Paks stored in Celsius^® SSMs to remote locations. Refrigerated by dry-ice slabs, the shipper can transport up to 100L of product per unit.

The Celsius^® SSM Shipper is offered for the shipment of one Celsius^® SSM, which can hold up to six frozen 8.3L and 16.6L Celsius^® Paks. This is a reusable shipper and, as such, a refurbishment program with dedicated spare parts and repair services is offered to support this product during its lifecycle.

The Celsius^® SSM Shipper has been qualified according to stringent regulations for shipping containers: ASTM-D4169 at Assurance Level 1 for mechanical integrity and ISTA 7D extreme summer profile for thermal performance. Together, these qualifications conducted by independent laboratories ensure the reliability and integrity of your high-value biopharmaceutical product during frozen shipment.

Maximum and minimum configurations (i.e., the number of bags in a shipper) as well as maximum and minimum fill volumes were tested against both mechanical and thermal criteria. All configurations tested against the ISTA 7D extreme summer profile passed the requirements for the shipper to provide adequate insulation and refrigeration to maintain the Celsius^® Pak below –40°C for at least 72 hours. This qualification against such an extreme temperature profile serves to demonstrate how well the shippers will perform in actual shipping lane thermal conditions. While we know actual shipping lane thermal tests must still be conducted, the pre-qualification of the Celsius^® SSM Shipper provides you with strong confidence that our product will match your requirements.
