This year's Transport Packaging Forum is chuck full of topics relevant to the lifesciences industries. The presenters are all experts in their field of distribution packaging and most of the authors present original research on distribution dynamics. An effective distribution simulation protocol is key to successful package design and validation. There are several presentations addressing the latest thinking in sustainability and for those of us interested in temperature sensitive pharmaceuticals and combination products, ISTA reveals an updated testing standard, 7E based on 2 years of field research. This new ISTA 7E testing standard for thermal performance will give a much needed technical update to the industry relative to evaluating the thermal peformance of your insulated shipper system via a well researched and documented thermal profile. More to come upon my return from the conference.
