PCM is nontoxic and readily biodegradable.  \n❑ Use a calibrated data logger or other temperature monitoring device to observe internal temperature.  \n❑ Avoid unnecessary opening of the Cool Cube™ after loading payload. Opening of the Cool Cube™ will decrease hold time.  \n❑ An infrared temperature thermometer can assist in ensuring the panels reach a safe pack-out temperature (good for finding out the approximate temperature of each panel) .  \n❑ The farther the ambient temperatures are from the melting point, the quicker PCM will change states (solidify/liquefy) .  \nLab Freezer PCM Panels  \nfor varicella, MMRV, Zoster, FFP & more  \nAll Sizes  \nGrey Tab/Label  \nThis PDF is clickable!

When solid PCM melts, it absorbs the heat from the environment, yet its temperature stays at the melting point until totally liquid. Conversely, when liquid PCM freezes, it absorbs the cold from the environment yet stays at its temperature until totally solid. Therefore, PCM an ideal, passive solution for a variety of applications that require temperature control. The most common PCM is water, which has a melting point of 0 °C (32 °F) . When solid, ice/water maintains a temperature of 0 °C until it turns completely liquid. So, in essence, the 0 °C melting point makes it unsafe for most frozen temperature-sensitive applications.  \nCool Cube™ Lab Freezer PCM has a melting point of-21.5 °C/-6.7 °F. When the PCM is solid, a panel helps the Cool Cube ™ stay cool (about-21 °C) in warm/hot environments. It’s right around that-21.5 °C/-6.7 °F where a PCM panel’s temperature plateaus for a while during the warming up and/or cooling down processes.  \n􀃄􀃄􀃄 How to prepare Lab Freezer PCM panels for use in the Cool Cube ™ 􀃄􀃄􀃄  \nCCPCMLAB20230119  \nLab Freezer PCM Panels for varicella, MMRV, Zoster, FFP & more.  \nAll Sizes  \nGrey Tab/Label  \nPrep Method A: Ultra-Low Freezer Prep to keep product frozen  \n\n| Remove\u003Cbr>PCM Panels | Prep\u003Cbr>PCM Panels | Assemble | Pack-Out | Close |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  | PCM Panels | Product | Bag/Case |\n| A freezer kept colder than-30°C is necessary to turn PCM completely solid.\u003Cbr>Panel Prep\u003Cbr>2.1 Lay panels flat in an ultra-low freezer until all the PCM (phase change material inside the panel","cbCaijeiIeWzM99S","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijeiIeWzM99S","pdf",1395986,"English","# Best Practices - Call for Technical Support\n## Preparation Checklist\n## Lab Freezer PCM (Phase Change Material) Overview\n## How to Prepare Lab Freezer PCM Panels for Use in the Cool Cube™\n## Prep Method A: Ultra-Low Freezer\n## Lab-Qualified Hold Times\n## Prep Method B: Dry Ice","[{\"question\":\"What preparation steps are required before using PCM panels?\",\"answer\":\"Prep PCM panels before use using one of the described VeriCor methods.
