Laboratory refrigerators Transport boxes
Transport boxes enable the secure transport of temperature-sensitive samples, reagents, and biological materials between laboratory locations. They are essential for clinics, pharmacies, diagnostic laboratories, and research facilities that must maintain defined temperature conditions during internal or external sample transport.

Transport boxes for temperature-controlled sample transport
Transport boxes are used to maintain defined temperature ranges during the transport of laboratory samples, pharmaceuticals, or diagnostic materials. They are used wherever the cold chain must not be interrupted between collection and processing. Typical users include clinical laboratories, blood banks, pharmacies, and pharmaceutical companies.
Areas of application for transport boxes in the laboratory
In the laboratory environment, transport boxes are required for various applications: the shipment of blood and tissue samples, the transport of temperature-sensitive reagents, and the transfer of vaccines or medications. Transport boxes are also a central tool for quality assurance in sample logistics between branch offices and central laboratories.
Selection criteria for transport boxes
Several factors are relevant when selecting a suitable transport box: the required internal volume, the necessary duration for maintaining the target temperature, the type of cooling elements, and the insulation performance. Higher-quality insulation materials are required for longer transport routes or extreme temperatures.
Temperature monitoring during sample transport
To document the cold chain, transport boxes can be combined with data loggers. USB data loggers or WLAN data loggers enable continuous recording of the temperature throughout the entire transport. This is particularly relevant for GMP-regulated areas and quality assurance in diagnostics and pharmaceuticals.
Frequently asked questions about transport boxes
Below you will find answers to frequently asked questions about transport boxes for laboratory use.
What are transport boxes used for in the laboratory?
Transport boxes are used for the temperature-controlled transport of samples, reagents, blood products, or pharmaceuticals. They maintain defined temperature ranges over a specific period and protect sensitive materials from temperature fluctuations.
What size should a transport box be?
The size depends on the volume and number of samples or containers to be transported. Small boxes are sufficient for individual sample tubes, while larger quantities or bulky vessels require correspondingly larger transport boxes.
How long do transport boxes maintain the temperature?
The duration depends on the insulation quality, the cooling elements used, and the ambient temperature. Depending on the design, high-quality transport boxes can maintain the target temperature for several hours up to one day.
What is the difference between passive and active transport boxes?
Passive transport boxes use cooling elements or dry ice to maintain temperature without an external power supply. Active systems have their own cooling and are suitable for longer transports or precise temperature requirements.
What accessories are useful for transport boxes?
Data loggers for temperature monitoring are an important accessory for documenting the cold chain. Additional cooling elements, dividers, or special inserts for sample tubes can optimize usage.
How can I receive advice on transport boxes?
For expert advice on selecting the right transport box, you can contact the dealer directly. Individual consultation takes your specific requirements regarding volume, temperature range, and transport duration into account.
Do transport boxes need to be validated for sample transport?
In regulated areas such as pharmaceuticals or for GMP-compliant processes, validation of transport conditions may be required. Documenting temperature profiles using data loggers supports the obligation to provide evidence.
