Freeze & thaw systems are used for performing all essential primary manufacturing processes. These are containers used for biopharmaceutical process development. Freeze & thaw bags are also used for the same purpose. Freeze & thaw systems consist of three prime components- cooling and heating unit, thawing unit, and transporting the unit. The advantage of using freeze & thaw systems is that they can also be used in R&D where the process operation takes place with a minimal amount of product. The container is used for quick thawing, freezing, and transporting biopharmaceutical products. The thawing device is used to perform the batch process seamlessly. Freeze & thaw containers are available as a bag which is lined by a protective shell and can be used in walk-in-freezer, laboratory freezers, temperature-controlled cabinets, or cold room.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
- COVID-19 is an infectious disease that originated in Hubei province of the Wuhan city in China in late December. The highly contagious disease, caused by a virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is transmitted from human to human. Since the outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to almost 213 countries around the globe with the World Health Organization declaring it a public health emergency on March 11, 2020.
- There has been an increase in the demand for medical supplies to take care of infected population. Respiratory support devices such as atomizers, life-support machines, oxygen generators, and monitors are among the majorly used medical devices in primary clinical treatment. Moreover, COVID-19 has led to a huge surge in demand for medical supplies such as personal protective equipment including masks, gloves, and protective eyeglasses. There is an increase in the need for medical supplies, both from healthcare professionals and civil population for precautionary measures, owing to the rise in number of COVID-19 cases worldwide. Manufacturers of these products have a chance to capitalize this increased demand for medical supplies to ensure adequate and continuous supply of personal protective equipment in the market. Therefore, COVID 19 is expected to have a significant impact on the freeze and thaw systems market.
