Abstract
A personal manually portable thermoelectric-cooling medicine kit, particularly for insulin, is provided. The medicine in the kit is cooled by a Peltier heat pump. The vials of medicine inside the kit are tilted to maximize heat transfer efficiency when the kit is either upright or laid flat. A cap is provided to shield an insulin vial from UV radiation while the case is open and the person is preparing for an injection. The kit includes components which are Velcro-attached to the lining of the kit.
