COVID-19 VACCINE?
The first tested, effective vaccine against COVID19… Sounds like a dream, right? Well, it turns out that scientists are close.
According to the media, the pharmaceutical company Pfizer has developed a vaccine that works in over 90% of people who have not previously had the disease. The result was based on a series of studies and effectiveness analyzes by an external monitoring committee. What's next? The market is going crazy, and the ubiquitous euphoria is everywhere, from the morning news on TV to stock indices.
What does this mean for us? Of course, a lot, and it is no secret that this information has shaken the laboratory and medical industry. A lot of challenges and a lot of work await us. Let's take a closer look at where this prognosis comes from?
The devil is in the details? - Yes, it has always been there ... First of all, the vaccine must be stored at a temperature below -80 degrees, which entails many logistical difficulties. I suspect the shipping industry is trying to modify and adjust the vaccine transport fleet. According to the information from the internet, more than 50 million doses are to be produced by the end of the year, and by the end of 2021 there are to be around 1.3 billion doses. Such numbers are impressive. Following this lead, it is easy to guess how much impact it will also have on the situation in hospitals and laboratories ... The demand for devices capable of achieving such temperatures will increase dramatically, but are we ready for it?
First and foremost, our ultra-low temperature freezers have been serving customers all over the world for years for just such purposes. ZLN-UT, because we are talking about them here, reach a temperature of -86 degrees, perfectly matching the requirements (by the way, I wrote about them quite recently ?: https://blog.pol-eko.com.pl/smartlab-en/temperature-straight-from-vostok/). What does our "ZLN-UT" look like? Let's take a closer look at it:
Presented technical data of the ZLN-UT 500 SMART PRO:
Our low temperature freezers are available in three capacity options:
*UT200 – 237 liters,
*UT300 – 326 liters,
*UT500 –liters (presented above).
Our designers are also working on introducing a smaller version of approximately 100 liters, in line with the expectations of customers and distributors.
We make efforts to provide our contractors with a wide selection, accelerated production and the necessary technical support. Why? Because we are close to defeat the pandemic which we all have enough. We want return to normal life, and if our efforts can help in this fight, then we will do everything we can to make it happen!
