Csafe Global supplies US Antarctic programme


Csafe Global has gone to the ends of the earth to ensure the samples gathered by the United States Antarctic programme are protected on their journey from Antarctica to the USA. Scientists collect samples to be shipped back to their home institutions for further analysis. The types of samples range from ocean floor sediment cores to fish larvae and midges - a small wingless fly.

 

The cost of conducting research in Antarctica is sizeable, making the value of each sample being transported equally significant. Each sample requires precise temperature control from the moment it is extracted until it is safely in a lab in the USA with the necessary environmental conditions for analysis. And depending on the type of material in each sample, some must be maintained at refrigerated or sub-zero temperatures. “This is a new and unique use of our Csafe Parcel line and we are proud to be involved in these important scientific endeavors,” noted Emilio Frattaruolo, Csafe global VP of innovation, passive systems.
