Drug sensitivity is affected by two main factors:TimeandTemperatureMost drugs have a limited shelf life. Most drugs have a limited shelf life and require rapid transportation and proper storage under strict temperature control to avoid loss of potency.

1️⃣ Transportation

Clinical trial drugs often require refrigeration, freezing, rapid freezing/thawing, or special packaging to ensure the safety and efficacy of the transportation process. Temperature monitoring is a critical aspect of transportation and common methods include:

Smart Indicator

Temperature stickers, electronic labels or sensors allow real-time monitoring of temperature changes during transportation.
Its simple design helps to improve monitoring efficiency and reduce manual recording.

Long-term Electronic Indicator

Such indicators allow continuous monitoring of temperature deviations throughout the product lifecycle (e.g. 1-3 years), e.g. LIBERO ITS uses a long-term monitoring mechanism, which allows for a more efficient allocation of the drug's "stability budget".

2️⃣ Storage

Refrigerator or freezer temperature monitoring

Upon arrival of the clinical trial drug, strict temperature control is required to ensure the safety of the drug for patients.
Appropriate temperature monitoring systems provide real-time audible and visual alarms and data logging.

3️⃣CRO Clinical Research Organization

If your team manages a large number of dispersed repositories or is constantly faced with data tracking challenges, CROs can provide clinical organizations with the Iris ELPRO solution.

The advantages of using the LIBERO series for monitoring:

• Monitoring points can be quickly self-assembled for easy deployment.
• All data is centralized in one system
• Abnormal conditions are automatically notified and the source sensor is displayed.
• Secure and easy to use, data can be uploaded easily.
• Manage sensor alarm standards, battery status and calibration certificates
