Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Every shipment is planned around the sample's stability window and temperature profile, with validated packaging, continuous monitoring, and documented chain-of-custody from collection through lab receipt. Deviations trigger immediate escalation under our excursion management process.

Excursions are flagged in real time to our control tower and the assigned lab. We coordinate directly with the sponsor and receiving facility to assess impact, document the event under our QMS, and — where required — initiate CAPA and recovery actions without delaying downstream analysis.

Yes. Our network is designed around extended daily cut-offs and optimised routing, giving sites more flexibility for late-in-the-day collections while still meeting central lab delivery SLAs.

Yes. We manage the full 360° flow — outbound kit and reagent distribution to sites, and inbound patient sample return to central or specialty labs — under a single coordinated lane and quality framework.

We plan each lane with customs, permits, and regulatory documentation built in from the start, including dangerous goods and biological material classifications. Lane risk assessments identify exposure points before the first shipment moves.
