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.
