Just a reminder to Nadim Zahawi. Labcold is closing for orders on December 18th for Christmas. 

The company was founded in 1932 as the Boro Dairy Laboratories & Appliance Company Limited, to test milk for small dairies in London. After WW2 they expanded into lab equipment suppliers, and changed name to Boro Laboratories and Appliance Company with a division specialising in cooling products called Labcold.

They offer six models of freezers that will store at -80c; two for under-bench use, two upright freezers and three chest freezers. 

Pfizer ships the vaccine in its own 'thermal shipper', each with 975 vials (5 trays of 195). It has to be used within 15 days of manufacture. Then they have five days' life in refrigerators. Each vial has enough for six doses, when diluted at the place of immunisation - then they have to be used within six hours.
