The importance of transporting biosamples

How appropriate logistics may be crucial in bio-samples delivery

Biological sample is a sample of blood serum or other biological liquid of human or animal origin collected within clinical trial preparation/conduct, donor search or complex diagnostics.  Bio-samples deliveries may be performed either domestically or internationally (other continents implied). 

What happens if biological samples are not delivered in time?

Prompt blood samples or biosamples delivery in largest medical sites may be sometimes of a crucial effect (please refer to the page Bio-samples deliveries). For this, logistic company actions should be precise and prompt. In case bio-samples’ delivery fails to be completed in time, study clinical results and the staff work may be compromised. Delivery of hazardous bio-samples is crucial for lives and health of the patients (e.g., within pandemic). 

Biological samples’ delivery is very common among largest pharmaceutical companies, dispensaries, healthcare institutions, family centers, laboratories and other organizations that have been authorized to work with biological materials.

Types of delivery

If duly arranged, no delivery will take more than 24 hours to be performed to any place in the world. Air delivery may imply registration issues; being an expert of customs clearance and vast experience in loading let us choose the best suitable option for delivery. In case of emergency (weather change or technical issues) transit re-package is arranged for the sake of cargo’s preservance.

Truck deliveries are ideal for intercity shipments covering not more than 2000 km. Along with the timelines of bio-samples delivery, temperature regimen compliance is also important, thus special certified containers are used and the trucks are equipped with the refrigerators or heaters. If not damaged and duly prepared, thermal container may preserve estimated temperature within 4 days. Logistic company associates are responsible for the containers’ preservance; they are regularly trained and are down to every last detail.

It is up to them to arrange timely delivery of important cargos including bio-samples. As a rule, elaborate truck and air routes are utilized along with experienced carriers only.
