A Vaccine Carrier (also known as Ice box or Insulation Box) is a portable equipment, which helps in keeping perishable items cool and fresh for a long period while also preserving Vaccines and Biological samples. Further, optionally, Ice Packs can also be supplied with the Vaccine Carrier for maintaining cold chain.
The principle on which a Vaccine Carrier works is that of PUF insulation, which aids in protecting the items stored from the outside heat. It usually comes with a lid which helps preserve the items kept within the box. Also, it is equipped with either lifting hooks or a swing handle at the top, for better portability.
