Pharmaceutical cold rooms in Dubai

What pharmaceutical storage asks of a room

Food cold rooms are judged on whether the product stays cold. Pharmaceutical rooms are also judged on whether you can show it stayed within range, everywhere in the room, all the time. That changes the design: even air distribution, no warm or cold spots near doors and evaporators, alarms that reach someone in the middle of the night, and records an auditor will accept.

How we design them

• The range your products need: commonly +2 to +8 °C for cold-chain products and +15 to +25 °C for controlled ambient storage
• Air distribution designed for an even temperature across the room, ready for mapping
• Standby refrigeration (N+1) where your risk assessment calls for it
• Independent monitoring with logged data, alarms and remote access
• Hygienic, cleanable finishes and sealed penetrations
• Anterooms or high-speed doors to limit temperature swings while picking
• Power-failure alarms, and provision for a standby supply

Mapping, qualification and audits

Temperature mapping and qualification are normally carried out by your quality team or an independent validation provider. We build and commission the room to the agreed specification and hand over the drawings, heat load calculation and commissioning records they need. After handover, planned maintenance keeps the room in the condition it was qualified in.

Clean rooms and controlled environments

Our group company, UK Coldstore Limited, builds clean rooms and controlled environments in the UK, and we use the same panel systems and detailing in the Gulf.
