Laboratory Logistics for Specimens & Instruments
Specimens, reagents, and instruments require tighter controls than standard courier moves, including documented handling, custody discipline, and exception playbooks.
We coordinate routes and handoffs, manage exceptions, and provide documentation for QA and lab review. Tempcontrolled Qualified (TCQ) packaging is provided when needed for stability and protection.
- Specimen stability
- Reagent safeguards
- Instrument protection
- Calibration routing
- Custody trail
- Exception playbooks
- Live visibility
- Passport evidence
