In these times of COVID-19 where there is significant interest in the very cold storage and transportation of a COVID-19 vaccine, RAPS members may be interested in the article from the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) regarding dry ice availability: https://www.cganet.com/compressed-gas-industry-expects-sufficient-dry-ice-supply-for-covid-19-vaccines-in-us-canada/. I am sharing this for informational purposes only.
There is also a link to a dry ice fact sheet within that article: https://www.cganet.com/carbon-dioxide-dry-ice-fact-sheet/ that provides some general information.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me through this post should you or your colleagues have additional questions regarding the handling and storage of Dry Ice or other medical gases. Wishing all to keep well and stay safe!
