Description

The Arktek DF is a super-insulated container that safely stores vaccines between -60℃ to -80℃ for 6.5 days and longer under hot zone conditions of 43℃. This device does not require any external power -only phase change material (PCM) packs that are replenished for continued use.

Health workers can easily retrieve and replace the vaccine vial stacks several times per day as the Arktek continues to stay cold and protect the vaccines. Vaccines and PCM blocks are loaded into the Arktek DF through the opening at the top of the device. The PCM blocks are first stacked against the inner wall and the vaccine carrier cups are then placed in the center. The Arktek DF - PCM requires several additional process steps and special handling protocols, including but not limited to, a specialized PCM freezer.

Key Features

Usability
The Arktek DF – PCM can hold vaccines between -60℃ to -80℃ for almost 7 days at hot zone temperature environment of 43℃/5℃.
A range of storage temperature can be supported by changing the type of PCM used. Longer hold times are possible when storage temperature requirements are above -40℃.
Design
The Arktek can be used in cold chain distribution of vaccines.
Safety
The Arktek DF – PCM is equipped with a HOBO 4-channel thermocouple logger (HOBO) which is attached to four thermocouple (TC) sensors which monitor interior temperatures in the vaccine storage area of the Arktek.

FAQ

How many vaccines can be held within the Arktek DF?
There are 3 vaccine stacks in the device. One middle stack (consisting of five small cups) and two side stacks (each consisting of four small cups). Each small cup can load 4 ampules (2ml), 14 common vials (4ml) and 4 wide vials (8ml).
How do PCMs work to keep vaccines cold?

This specialized use of the Arktek device employs a particular type of PCM in place of the more typical frozen water ice blocks. PCMs are known for their ability to store or release energy in transition
between solid (frozen) and liquid (melted) or gas states. The freeze-melt transition temperature varies widely across the range of available PCMs. The suitable PCM that is used in this application has a melting point of -65°C, which is within the required vaccine storage temperatures range of -60°C to -80°C.
During phase transition from solid to liquid, a PCM maintains a constant temperature until all of the PCM has melted. Typically, the amount of energy required to melt a PCM is large. Combining the large amount of energy required to melt with the very low heat leak for the Arktek device can result in hold times of 6-7 days if properly used at typical African temperatures.

Do I need specialized freezing equipment to use this device?
Yes. Multiple powered freezers need to be used to prepare the Arktek DF for use. The freezers required serve two different purposes, each with its own specified temperature range:

  • PCM Freezers: These are used for fully freezing the PCM blocks in the range of -80°C to -86°C.
  • Vaccine Freezers. These are used for keeping vaccines cold within a range of-60°C to -80°C.

    • Any location that stores vaccines and also freezes PCM blocks will need to have at least one freezer of each kind on site.
