THE SITUATION FOR INQABA BIOTEC
Protecting Critical Lab Products When Power Is Unpredictable

Power outages and voltage fluctuations put vital medical products at constant risk. Healthcare labs and clinics served by Inqaba Biotec faced frequent temperature excursions that threatened lab reagents and research integrity.

This leaves healthcare providers and researchers to address these challenges:

  • Increased operational complexity for labs and healthcare facilities
  • Risk of losing critical lab reagents and biological samples, jeopardizing research outcomes
  • Traditional refrigeration often unreliable under unstable power conditions, risking sample integrity

The cold chain is pushed to its limits—calling for a technology-driven solution that delivers unwavering reliability and protects lives.

THE COOLFINITY SOLUTION

IceVolt 300P — Built for Power Instability and Performance

What We Delivered

Coolfinity’s IceVolt 300P lab refrigerators feature patented ice-bank thermal battery technology that maintains steady 2–8°C temperatures during power cuts and voltage dips. A Remote Temperature Monitoring Device (RTMD) in each refrigerator enables constant, remote monitoring of refrigerators with integrated voltage stabilization and temperature backup ensure cold chain integrity under any circumstance.

How We Delivered

  1. Close partnership with Inqaba Biotec to match solutions to local needs
  2. Continuous supply and support since 2021 
  3. Local expertise ensuring seamless service and reliable operations
THE IMPACT

Stronger Cold Chains, Healthier Communities

The ongoing partnership has drastically reduced risk of preserving lab items and improved confidence for healthcare workers and researchers alike. IceVolt refrigerators are driving stronger healthcare delivery where it matters most, providing reliable cold storage that consistently protects lab reagents and biological samples —even in environments with frequent power challenges.

The impact is both immediate and structural. Our key results achieved for Inqaba:

  • Near-elimination of temperature excursions during load shedding
  • Consistent 2–8°C performance ensuring high system uptime across multiple sites
  • Reduced risk of product loss for temperature-sensitive reagents and medical supplies
  • Increased confidence among laboratory staff in maintaining cold chain integrity
  • Clear energy efficiency gains driving lower operational costs
  • Reduced maintenance needs and fewer technical interventions
  • Reliable reagent protection with up to 48 hours of backup cooling
