Abstract

A portable cooling unit having a refrigerated storage compartment that employs a thermo¬ electric module for cooling is disclosed. The cooling unit is configured so that heat is transferred away from the refrigerated storage compartment using a heat sink of relatively high thermal conductivity wherein the heat flow is induced by the thermo-electric module, hi a preferred embodiment, a fan provides forced convection heat removal from the heat sink. Further exemplary embodiments disclosed include a diabetic travel kit useful for storing insulin at controlled temperatures with additional compartments for storage of a glucose monitor, a lancet, syringes, alcohol pads and other supplies.
