FREEZE SAFE
AOV with R&D support from PATH addressed the
problem of vaccine freezing by incorporating an inner
vaccine box made of engineered phase change material
(EPCM) into vaccine carrier. When used with non
conditioned Ice packs the EPCM vaccine box will protect
vaccines stored within the carrier from exposure to
temperature below zero degree thus preventing the
freezing of vaccines.
