Description
The Across International Ai B25-20L Thermal Shipping Cube is designed for secure, temperature-controlled transport of sensitive materials requiring ultra-cold conditions between -25°C and -15°C. This VIP-insulated shipping container utilizes rechargeable Phase Change Material (PCM) cold pads to maintain a stable temperature environment for up to 72 hours, ensuring safe transportation of valuable biological and pharmaceutical materials.
Constructed with advanced Vacuum Insulated Panel (VIP) technology, the shipping cube provides exceptional thermal performance. VIP insulation features a thermal conductivity of only 0.004 W/m·K, which is less than 20% of traditional polyurethane foam insulation, making it widely used in ultra-low temperature freezers, pharmaceutical cold chain logistics, and aerospace applications.
This reusable cold chain shipping container is ideal for transporting clinical trial materials, vaccines, pharmaceutical products, laboratory samples, and research materials where precise temperature control is essential.

Standard Operating Procedure (Recommended Use)
Charging PCM Cold Pads
For -25°C Shipping:
-
Place PCM cold pads in a -40°C freezer for 24 hours
-
Position pads sideways (not upright)
-
Leave at least 1 inch spacing between pads
-
PCM is fully charged when the internal fluid becomes solid
After removing from freezer:
• Allow pads to sit at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes before use
Packing Procedure
-
Place one PCM pad on the bottom of the container
-
Place four PCM pads along the inner walls
-
Insert the product load into the container
-
Place a temperature data logger (optional)
-
Place the sixth PCM pad on top of the load
-
Close the VIP insulated lid tightly
After 72 hours, replace all PCM pads with freshly charged pads if continued temperature control is required.
