Description
The Across International Ai B02-20L Thermal Shipping Cube is designed for safe, temperature-controlled transport of temperature-sensitive products requiring a stable 2–8°C environment. Utilizing rechargeable Phase Change Material (PCM) cold pads and Vacuum Insulated Panel (VIP) technology, this high-performance shipping container maintains reliable cold chain conditions for up to 72 hours.
The advanced VIP insulation system provides superior thermal protection with a conductivity rating of only 0.004 W/m·K, significantly outperforming traditional foam insulation. This technology is commonly used in ultra-low temperature freezers, pharmaceutical cold chain transport systems, and aerospace insulation applications.
The Ai B02-20L shipping cube is ideal for transporting vaccines, clinical trial materials, pharmaceutical products, laboratory reagents, and temperature-sensitive biological samples while minimizing shipping costs and protecting valuable materials from temperature excursions.

Recommended Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)
Charging PCM Cold Pads
For 2–8°C shipping:
-
Place PCM pads in a -18°C freezer for 24 hours
-
Position pads sideways (not upright)
-
Maintain 1 inch spacing between pads
-
PCM is fully charged once the internal fluid becomes solid
After removal from freezer:
• Allow PCM pads to sit at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes before packing
Packing Procedure
-
Place one PCM pad at the bottom of the container
-
Place four PCM pads along the inner walls
-
Insert the product load into the container
-
Place temperature data logger (optional)
-
Place the sixth PCM pad on top of the load
-
Close the VIP insulated lid tightly
After 72 hours, replace the six PCM pads with newly charged pads if continued temperature control is required.
