Explore Our Gel Packs for Blood and Tissue Samples

Blood and tissue sample shipping is considerably nuanced in terms of size and material, often requiring innovative packaging solutions to facilitate transportation. Pelton Shepherd offers gel packs in a range of varieties, sizes and eutectic points to provide peace of mind that your biological samples are stored correctly. We can even create customized cold packs if specific sizes or properties are required.

Gel packs provide versatile cold storage options and are ideal for refrigerating and shipping temperature-sensitive materials and products such as blood and tissue samples. Specifically designed to prevent temperature excursions, our water-based gel packs can be frozen or refrigerated based on temperature shipping requirements. Some packs we offer are reusable, enabling you to maintain effective cost control. 

Explore our two most popular gel pack ranges to find the refrigerant that suits your unique requirements.

  • Glacier Temp: Keep costs down without compromising on quality. Pelton Shepherd Glacier Temp shipping gel packs incorporate puncture-resistant EcoGel™ and moisture-wicking Glacier Moisture Guard gel pack solutions that mold around samples and protect moisture-sensitive products.
  • TerraTemp: Our eco-friendly TerraTemp ice pack range combines accurate temperature control with sustainable practices. Terra Ice™ provides the same performance as regular ice packs in a compostable design.

Trusted When Cold Matters

Keep costs down without compromising on quality. Pelton Shepherd Glacier Temp shipping gel packs incorporate puncture-resistant EcoGel™, which offers two layers of protection — the resistant exterior and a specially formulated gel. Even in the event of a small puncture, the dough-like gel will remain inside the ice pack. 

The moisture-wicking Glacier Moisture Guard gel pack solutions mold around samples and protect moisture-sensitive products with a sweat-proof exterior. The design absorbs the normal condensation that forms on a gel pack surface to preserve the samples’ integrity and diagnostic value.

The formula is completely biodegradable, and end users can simply toss it into the trash or compost, where it will break down.

The Trusted Solution for Safe and Stable Specimen Transport

Gel ice packs are the superior choice for shipping blood and tissue samples. Compared to dry ice, they are safer for handlers and recipients. They are also more cost-effective and easier to store and handle. Their stable, controlled temperatures make them ideal for preserving sample integrity without the risk of freezing. Here are a few reasons our solutions stand out for this application:

  • Nontoxic: Gel packs use a water-based gel, which won’t compromise samples, even in the rare event that a breach occurs. They are also safe for handlers. 
  • Puncture-resistant: We’ve developed a strong exterior that holds up to the demands of transit to prevent leaks. 
  • Temperature stable: Our solutions prioritize sample integrity by maintaining the required temperature throughout shipping with specially formulated gels and durable exteriors. 

Common Applications of Gel Packs for Blood and Tissue Samples

We offer solutions to support numerous facilities responsible for handling biological samples, such as: 

  • Diagnostic labs: Transport between collection sites and central testing facilities requires effective gel packs to ensure accurate analysis.
  • Clinical trials: Pharmaceutical businesses and contract research organizations may need clinical trial shipping supplies for patient blood and tissue transport.
  • Hospitals and clinics: Send blood, biopsy and pathology samples to labs for diagnosis and patient care. 
  • Bio-banks: Research centers may need to transport and store biological specimens used in their studies.
