University of Surrey Scientists Pioneer Temperature-Sensitive Vaccine Labels to Reduce Global Medical Waste
Scientists at the University of Surrey have created an innovative heat-sensitive labeling system that changes color when vaccines are exposed to unsafe temperatures. The technology, reportedly more cost-effective than current alternatives, could significantly reduce vaccine waste worldwide. The World Health Organization will now conduct testing to validate the system for potential global implementation.
Breakthrough in Vaccine Preservation Technology
Researchers at the University of Surrey have developed an innovative temperature-responsive labeling system that could dramatically reduce global vaccine waste, according to recent reports. The color-changing technology responds to heat exposure, providing visual alerts when medical vials have been subjected to potentially damaging temperature conditions that could compromise their efficacy.
