[Daffodil]

Hi All.

I am going to be transporting some immunoglobulin. It has to be refrigerated at all times, between 2 and 8 degrees Celcius (36 - 46 F).

I have a great cooler, foam, and ice packs for this purpose. The problem is, the containers I will be using will have empty space in them after I put the medication in. I want to fill this space.

My question is: what should I fell this empty space with? I have foam pellets but won't this insulate the medicine too much from the foam and ice packs around the container and prevent proper cooling? Should I use some scrunched up paper instead? Is there anything in particular someone can recommend I use?

Thanks a lot:)

Yes.  You have good instincts.  Pack the samples in the container, add ice packs nearby, and fill the empty space with crumpled paper.  Try to overfill with paper.  Then, tape the lid down securely.  The compression will protect the contents from shifting when shipped.  Don't under-fill, things get handled pretty rough during shipment.
