Arktek Passive Vaccine Storage Device (P6) designed by Intellectual Ventures, ca. 2008
In 2008, the Gates Foundation challenged Intellectual Ventures to help fix the issue of keeping vaccines cool until they reach patients in far-flung parts of the world. The Arktek Passive Vaccine Storage Device, developed by Global Good, a collaboration between Intellectual Ventures and the Gates Foundation, was designed and manufactured to act as a "super thermos" to refrigerate vaccine supplies until they are ready for use.
