Where Do Hospitals Use Temperature-Controlled Storage?
Hospitals are large, busy work environments filled with all kinds of different supplies. They often require specialized temperature-controlled environments, such as coolers and freezers. These may be used in:
Food Service Areas
With patients, staff, and visitors around 24/7, hospitals have food service areas that require coolers and freezers to preserve freshness. Given the amount of food a large facility like a hospital may house, dedicated walk-in units are often needed.
Sanitation Stations
Hospitals need to be kept clean and free of bacteria, which is why they have plenty of cleaning supplies, chemicals, and substances used to control infections. While some of these items can be simply left on a shelf, many items should be kept in a secure, temperature-controlled location.
Pharmacy and Medication Cold Storage
Refrigerated medications and biologics are sensitive to temperature, while many drugs, vaccines, and other items within a hospital need to be kept frozen. American Cooler Technologies provides temperature-controlled units that make it easy to keep them safe.
Blood Banks and Transfusion Services
Blood and plasma are some of the most important resources within a hospital, and keeping them at the proper temperature is paramount, as it helps prevent coagulation. Blood needs to be kept at temperatures between 33.8 and 42.8 degrees Fahrenheit (1 to 6 degrees Celsius), so temperature-controlled units are crucial.
Laboratory, Pathology, and Research
Medical facilities also rely on cold storage for chemical substances in lab settings and pathology departments. These substances may require short- or long-term storage, so having the proper cooler or freezer is critical.
