The first production
units of Kodiak’s new R11 cold chain
The data on the chart below is from an actual shipment from Houston to New Jersey and back using Kodiak’s new R11 cold chain shipping container. The unit was opened four times (note the temperature spikes) for payload inspection. The data logger was run for an indefinite duration and exceeded 8° C after 127 hours or 5.2 days.
The R11 continues to undergo a series of validation and qualification testing in a controlled environment. For information on the new Kodiak R11 cold chain shipping container or testing validations, please contact Harry Smith at (713) 686.1553 ext.15 or by email at hsmith@kodiaktech.com.

Kodiak Advantages: Value Point #7: Software Supported Monitoring System
A very unique feature of Kodiak cold chain shipping containers is the UN CFR 21 sub 11 compliant iLog data logger software. This software enables the customer to monitor a shipment without ever having to open the container. Kodiak’s onboard data loggers record both ambient and internal temperatures during the entire shipment. The software feature allows the user to download this valuable information for each shipment and can be used immediately to document the integrity and quality of the payload or it can be used later for testing and validation purposes.

the production line. The Kingsville manufacturing facility is already
preparing to ramp up for the next round of R11’s.
The demand for these new
units is rapidly increasing. Several government agencies, well known
pharmaceutical and biotech companies have taken an immediate interest in
this unit and its performance capabilities. The R11 is designed and
manufactured as a smaller, more portable version of Kodiak’s R36 container.
The R11 has an 11 liter useable payload area which makes it the perfect
choice for smaller applications.
