ESC-10 and the cold chain of custody
Laboratory test samples and specimens are vulnerable when they travel, and often a lower temperature must be maintained to preserve their integrity. While refrigerators and freezers are standard equipment in all medical offices and the testing laboratories, test samples often take a long journey from the office to the testing lab. During transit, they must be protected from damage and it is critical to maintain a cold “chain of custody”. To address this, leading labs prefer a portable specimen container to protect vials and maintain proper temperatures. McShane’s ESC-10 is considered one of the best designed portable specimen containers in the industry. It is the preferred solution for many top testing labs since 1997.
Keeping It Cool
The ESC-10 employs state of the art gel packs to keep vulnerable specimens at the proper temperature. The advanced locking clam-shell design protects the samples from damage. Documentation is neatly clamped into the ESC-10 so vital information stays with the sample at all times. And, of course, the ESC-10 fits perfectly into McShane’s Lablocker lock boxes where they are safely held until pick-up by an authorized courier.
The Standard
ESC-10 is an easy-to-use solution which has become an industry standard for safely transporting specimens to the test lab. The ESC-10 is used by many of the top global test labs.
The ESC-10 provides leading laboratories and their couriers with an innovative solution to maintain a cold “chain of custody” for specimens. Features such as modern gel technology, reusable multi-sample container design, and an easy-to-use snap-close cover keep your specimen cool and your tracking documentation easily visible.
Each case contains eight (8) ESC-10 frozen specimen containers.
