Physical Temperature Buffering Rendered Obsolete by Mathematical Model
Before Virtual Temperature Buffering (VTB™), healthcare providers and drug manufacturers had no choice but to rely on glycol and other physical mediums—such as sand, glass beads, silicone, and PVC—to buffer the effects of rapid temperature fluctuations on probes.
VTB™, a patented algorithm developed by AmericanPharma Technologies, replaces these outdated methods with a significantly more accurate and convenient approach. Instead of relying on physical materials, VTB™ mathematically calculates the temperature inside vials and bottles based on the surrounding air temperature within the storage unit.
Traditional buffering methods are often messy, expensive, and time-consuming. More importantly, they are prone to over-buffering—delaying detection and allowing vaccines or pharmaceuticals to freeze or overheat before an excursion is identified.
VTB™ eliminates these risks by delivering precise, real-time modeling of product temperatures. Highly accurate algorithmic models have been developed for all common storage types, including pre-filled syringes, blood storage containers, and cornea chambers.
Rigorous testing has shown that VTB™ not only meets but exceeds the intent of compliance regulations. By providing the true temperature of individual products, it gives pharmacists and clinicians greater confidence in the safety and efficacy of the therapies they administer.
By replacing physical buffering with a 21st-century algorithm, VTB™ enhances public safety while helping healthcare organizations prevent costly inventory loss.
VTB™ is a healthcare industry first that is already making a significant impact on public safety. It was developed to protect vaccines and other temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals from damage caused by improper storage conditions.
VTB™ was recognized as a finalist in the Idaho Innovation Awards in the “Commercialized Innovation of the Year” category. These awards highlight groundbreaking achievements across business, technology, and academia, with winners selected by industry leaders and verified by Deloitte.
