The present inven- tion seeks to provide a system that can enable goods to be securely and reliably transported and stored for limited periods within speci- fied temperature ranges. Pharmaceuticals, proteins, biological samples and other temperature sensitive products, including food items, are reg- ularly shipped in containers year round and are subjected to a wide range of temperatures. Though they are shipped in insulated contain- ers and/or climate controlled environments, the temperature stability of the shipping containers can be significantly improved by utilising suit- able phase change materials (PCM 1, PCM 2) in an ordered fashion. The present invention provides a simple solution to the maintenance of temperature profiles for the transport and storage of temperature sen- sitive products.
