Microtek Laboratories
Cold Chain & Packaging

Temperature stability through every leg of the journey.

Whether shipping perishables across town or biologics across continents, Microtek's PCM solutions keep products in their target window.

The challenge

Replace ice and dry ice with engineered precision.

Traditional cold-chain methods rely on water ice, gel packs, and dry ice — all of which drift in temperature, melt unevenly, and force packaging compromises.

Microtek's microencapsulated PCMs hold a precise melt point: they absorb energy at the target temperature and release it at the same target temperature, giving shippers a far more predictable thermal profile.

Microtek's advantage

Why PCM works here.

  • Tunable to refrigerated, frozen, or CRT ranges
  • Predictable, repeatable thermal performance
  • Lower pack-out weight than water-ice systems
  • Reusable formats reduce single-use waste
  • Integrates with insulated containers and pallet shippers
