), the innovation leader in active, passive parcel and cell and gene

The custom container uses a double wall of best-in-class Vacuum Insulated Panel 
(VIP) technology, a custom payload box with product vial trays with a built-in 
handle for simplified packing and unpacking. Thermal testing exceeded all 
expectations and the shipper consistently performed well beyond the 240-hour 
minimum. The container will maintain the desired temperature indefinitely with 
the addition of dry ice as needed. 

"Using innovative engineering design concepts, the CSafe team was able to 
exceed BioNTech's requirements for a high-performance container that will 
maintain -70 degrees C for more than 10 days," said Patrick Schafer, CSafe 
Global CEO. "Additionally, we were also able to reduce the amount of dry ice 
needed by more than 30% from our original projection by making additional 
tweaks to the design. CSafe has always been a purpose-driven company and every 
one of our employees couldn't be prouder of this tremendous achievement and our 
role in helping BioNTech put an end to the pandemic." 
 
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (BNT162b2), which is based on BioNTech's 
proprietary mRNA technology, was developed by both BioNTech and Pfizer. 
BioNTech is the Marketing Authorization Holder in the European Union, and the 
holder of emergency use authorizations or equivalent in the United States 
(jointly with Pfizer), United Kingdom, Canada and other countries in advance of 
a planned application for full marketing authorizations in these countries.
