GMP Pharmaceutical Cold Storage and Ultra Low Temperature Rooms
In pharmaceutical storage the temperature record is part of the product. A chamber that held its set point but cannot prove it has still failed the audit.

What Goes Wrong In Pharmaceutical and Biotech Cold Storage
Excursions discovered too late
Remote monitoring with SMS and email alarms raises an alert the moment a chamber moves out of band, rather than at the next shift.
Single points of failure
Vaccine and biologic storage cannot wait for a spare part. N+1 compressor redundancy and standby power are designed in from the start.
Validation and mapping evidence
GMP practice requires temperature mapping and continuous logged history per chamber, which the HMI and monitoring package provides.
Ultra-low duty
Cell therapy and certain biologics need far below normal freezer temperature; we have delivered chambers at minus 65 degrees.
What Howcool Delivers On These Projects
- 2-8 degree chambers, frozen chambers and minus 65 degree ultra-low rooms
- Cascade or dedicated ultra-low plant with redundancy
- Temperature and humidity mapping points per chamber
- Continuous logging with SMS and email alarming
- Standby generation and uninterrupted control power
- Documentation pack for qualification and audit

Reading For Pharmaceutical and Biotech Buyers
Pharmaceutical and Biotech Cold Storage Questions
Do you build to GMP requirements?
Yes. Pharmaceutical projects are designed around mapped chambers, redundant plant, alarmed monitoring and continuous logged history — the evidence an inspection asks for.
How low can the chambers go?
We have delivered pharmaceutical cold storage at minus 65 degrees for vaccines, biologics and cell-therapy products.
What happens during a power failure?
Pharmaceutical designs include standby generation; the Jeddah design, for comparison, carries a 500 kW standby generator alongside a 1,250 kVA transformer.
