Dickson is exhibiting at Lab Indonesia! On this occasion, our APAC team looks forward to meeting you and discussing environmental monitoring solutions tailored to your very specific needs!

At Dickson Data, we develop precise and consistent temperature and humidity monitoring solutions to comply with ever-changing health and safety regulations in the heatlhcare industry, which makes us naturally curious about other monitoring, sensing, and data collection tools being used Hospitals use our temperature data loggers throughout their facility to keep track of vaccine temperatures,…

If vaccine and pharmacy medication storage reaches the wrong temperature, several things can happen – rendering them less effective than intended or even chemically altered, causing inadvertent patient harm. Because of this risk, strict pharmacy temperature requirements have been put into place to ensure medications are manufactured, transported, and stored properly before they reach the…

According to the FDA, “the term qualification refers to activities undertaken to demonstrate that utilities and equipment are suitable for their intended use and perform properly. These activities necessarily precede manufacturing products at the commercial scale.” Qualification can be further broken down into three phases: installation qualification (IQ), operational qualification (OQ), and performance qualification (PQ),…

In good manufacturing practice (GMP) and other GxP’s, the term validation has a formal, specific meaning. In this context, validation is a quality management tool used to confirm that a process or a piece of equipment satisfies its intended purpose through the use of objective data. In highly regulated industries like pharmaceuticals, validation is used…

A growing trend in the pharmaceutical industry is the development of more complex and fragile products, like biologicals, chemical mixtures, and large molecules (COVID-19 vaccines are an example of this trend).  These products generally must follow a standard operating procedure (SOP) that requires more stringent temperature controls to prevent them from degrading or deactivating during…

The safe transportation of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals is critical in maintaining product integrity and ensuring patient safety. WHO Annex 9 provides essential guidelines for temperature-controlled transport, emphasizing best practices for handling, storing, and distributing pharmaceuticals under GxP Pharma standards. Importance of Temperature-Controlled Transport Pharmaceuticals, especially vaccines, biologics, and certain medications, require strict transit temperature and humidity…

This July, Dickson APAC is proud to announce its participation in two major regional events: CPHI APAC 2025, from July 14 to 16 at MITEC Kuala Lumpur (Booth B155), and LabAsia 2025, from July 16 to 18 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (Booth E37). These events mark a unique opportunity for industry stakeholders to…

Temperature mapping is essential for proper pharmaceutical storage control, but the real test is proving your methods are consistent and verifiable across the board.  When every facility uses a slightly different protocol, you’re left with a patchwork of data that can be the troubling regulatory compliance gaps that a sharp-eyed auditor will question first. WHO…
