Sonoco ThermoSafe Launches Envoy Diagnostic Kit Shipper System

Sonoco ThermoSafe, Arlington, Heights, Ill., USA, a unit of Sonoco, has launched its new Envoy Diagnostic insulated shipping solution to ensure proper refrigerated temperature control for diagnostic kits, blood samples, and other diagnostic specimens.

The Envoy Diagnostic product line features the two-day Envoy shipper combined with one of five available diagnostic kits. The system provides the necessary components used in UN DOT, IATA, and USPS certifications for shipping specimens and infectious substances. The entire Envoy Diagnostic series gives consistent 2- to 8-degree Celsius temperature control while exposed to the real-world ISCsilver® ambient profile, which is representative of the ambient conditions diagnostic specimens are typically exposed to during shipment.

"To better target new disease indications and markers, the diagnostic market has been increasing its research and development efforts, as well as performing more tests," said Marianne Hoonakker-Kelly, market manager, Sonoco ThermoSafe. "To better serve this market, we've combined two of our well known product lines; the Envoy Shipper and our Sonoco ThermoSafe Diagnostic Kits. The pairing of these two products allows our customers to receive a complete solution to ensure the thermal integrity of the diagnostic specimens with the lowest total cost solution."
