Rising Demand for Ultra-Low Temperature Solutions
As Scott highlighted, the life sciences sector is witnessing a surge in the requirement for ultra-low temperature (ULT) processes. The industry is now accommodating a broad spectrum of temperature needs, including refrigerated temperatures, traditionally around -70°C to -80°C and newer applications demanding -30°C to -50°C for proteins and APIs. This trend reflects the necessity for flexibility in temperature management across various pharmaceutical products. FARRAR is responding by developing equipment that can be adapted for multiple temperature applications, maximizing utility and efficiency.
Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword; it’s a driving force in the pharmaceutical industry. FARRAR acknowledges this shift by focusing on low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants and energy efficiency. By prioritizing these aspects, FARRAR is not only aligning with regulatory expectations but also catering to the increasing demand from consumers for sustainable practices.
