Staying Current In Cold Chain Management

By Paul Daniel and Piritta Maunu, Vaisala, Inc.

Our aim with this article is to explore the latest revision of Chapter <1079> from the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) and to address questions that Vaisala, as a creator of systems used in cold chain applications, receives from customers and contacts who manage temperature-controlled supply chains. We will look at Good Distribution Practices (GDP) and outline salient points in the ongoing discussion of how to apply the guidance and recommendations.
