Following the opening of our new Pharma Zone at Heathrow in October 2017, your temperature-controlled pharmaceutical and life science products are handled and stored in a secure and segregated environment. With walk-in pods capable of maintaining 2-8°C (COL) and 15-25°C (CRT) temperature ranges, as well as a dedicated storage system with separate chambers, our Pharma Zone ensures our team of GDP-trained specialists will safely maintain the integrity of all your products requiring 2-8°C or 15-25°C temperature management.
