August 9, 2023 – Thermo Fisher Scientific announced a new line of Thermo Scientific TM TSG Series Refrigerators to ensure the safe storage of critical vaccines and pharmaceuticals for laboratory, pharmacy and clinical* environments.
The World Health Organization estimates that up to 50% of vaccines are wasted each year globally, primarily due to temperature control, logistics and shipment-related issues. The result is less vaccine availability for patients and caregivers and financial loss to physicians, researchers and institutions. TSG Series Laboratory and Pharmacy Refrigerators provide safe, effective storage of vaccines and other pharmaceuticals with less vaccine waste for our customers and is manufactured at our zero-waste-to-landfill facility in Asheville, North Carolina.
This new TSG series complies with NSF 456 performance standards, an American national standard that helps ensure storage equipment performs as intended to preserve the viability of vaccine doses. Compliance requires that vaccine storage equipment is tested against a rigorous protocol for construction and performance. The TSG series achieves this through optimum temperature performance, enhanced sample security, and an extended warranty doubled over previous models with full parts and labor.
