Biosafety Transport Box BTB-L SeriesBTB-L Series

Overview

The BTB-L series is the transport box used to move blood, samples and vaccines between facilities — a validated cold chain container rather than a cool box. It is designed for Category A and B infectious substances, covering blood, biological products, pathogenic microorganisms and vaccines, and is approved for air transport.

A real-time digital temperature display on the outside reads to 0.1 degree C resolution, and the box holds 2 to 8 degrees C for 24 hours. With different ice packs it can also run a freezing mode between -12 and -22 degrees C. Insulation is integral-foamed polyurethane, considerably thicker than a standard cool box, with EPS and PU or pure PU depending on model.

Construction is blow- and injection-moulded with a burr-free surface: polypropylene inside for easy disinfection, polyethylene outside for toughness and crack resistance. The cold source is safe against skin, unlike dry ice, and expands no more than 15 per cent when frozen solid so it will not crack the box. Available as BTB-L5, L6, L8, L12 and L15.

Medix East Africa supplies the biosafety transport box btb-l series with pre-installation site assessment, delivery, installation and commissioning by our own biomedical engineers, and acceptance testing before handover. Operator training is delivered to the staff who will use it day to day, and technical training is available for your biomedical department.

After handover we hold genuine spare parts for the equipment we supply, run preventive maintenance under annual contract, and respond to faults across Kenya and the wider East African region. Pricing is issued by formal quotation, because it depends on configuration, quantity, delivery terms and warranty.
