Answer: PCM (Phase Change Material) offers several advantages over traditional ice for temperature control, making it a superior choice in applications like the VeriCor Cool Cube. Here’s why: Precise Temperature Control: Ice maintains a temperature around 0°C (32°F) as it melts, which can be too cold for many temperature-sensitive materials like vaccines and medicines.

How does PCM improve cooling efficiency?
Answer: PCM (Phase Change Material) improves cooling efficiency by leveraging its ability to store and release large amounts of thermal energy during its phase transitions (melting and freezing). Unlike conventional cooling methods, PCM absorbs heat as it changes from solid to liquid, maintaining a stable temperature for longer periods without active refrigeration. When the temperature Read More
How long does it take to prep the FT-96 for use?
The time varies between prep methods: Method A: ≈ 24 hours Method B: ≈ 3 hours Method C: ≈ 24 hours In the user guide we recommend Method A, although all methods work. Choose the method that works best with your schedule and available resources. If you store the PCM panels in your freezer they Read More
How long does it take to get the “RT-96” Cool Cube™ ready to hold my vaccine?
The time varies between prep methods: Method A: ≈ 3 hours / Keep product cool (in extreme heat) Method B: ≈ 4 hours / Keep product cool (in extreme heat) Method C: ≈ 3 hours / Keep product warm (in cold conditions) Method D: ≈ 3 hours / Keep product warm (in cold conditions) In Read More
How do I prep the “RT-96” for use?
Store panels in a lab incubator* between 15-20°C so PCM is solid (i.e. 48 hrs. @ 15°C). Shake to verify. Before assembly, shake panels to verify PCM is solid. If liquid is heard, restart at step 2a to ensure the longest hold time. Using liquid panels, or panels with a solid/liquid combination, decreases hold time. Read More
