Our service portfolio is integrated through all phases of the clinical trial process, including:
- Preparation of sampling kits
• On-site sample handling instructions
• Courier transport
• Sample tracking and tracing - Contingency planning
• Management of sample process labs
• Post-study sample storage
• Sample destruction
• Sample retrieval and distribution to referral labs
• Daily data management globally
• Training of investigator sites
• An established global network of 41 processing laboratories
We offer an efficient logistical network all over the globe with more than 41 pre-processing labs, eight office locations, technical platforms and more than 20 partner labs, as well as contracts with leading clinical trial couriers and in-house drivers in specific areas such as South Africa.

Services
• Sample and test kit design, production, and distribution
• Customized global cold chain design and distribution including specialized sample logistics
• Global processing laboratory networks
• Specialty logistics and processing solutions
• And many other tailor-made supply chain services
Reducing time & cost, increasing sample integrity
Our network of pre-processing laboratories reduces adds extra value to reduce time and transport costs and minimizes the risk to sample integrity:
• Processing samples allows us to generate primary and backup aliquots, minimizing the risk of losing whole samples
• Stabilizing samples within 8-48 hrs after sample collection
• Sampling kits are fully compliant with International Air Transport Association (IATA) regulations
