- Insulated Pouch + Gel Packs
- Lightweight, cost-effective, easy to pack, short-term temperature control
- Limited duration, susceptible to extreme external temperatures
- Short trips (12-24 hours), carry-on luggage
- Portable Mini-Fridge
- Consistent temperature, active cooling, longer duration
- Requires power source, bulkier, higher cost
- Extended trips (24-72 hours), vehicle travel
- Specialized Cold Chain Shipper
- Precise temperature, shock protection, certified for sensitive items
- High cost, often requires professional handling, larger footprint
- International travel, extremely sensitive compounds
- Vacuum-Sealed Containers
- Protects from moisture, prevents leaks, reduces contamination risk
- No temperature control, still needs insulation
- Lyophilized peptides, general protection
