Transport of biological samples and medicinal products
We are authorized by the Italian Ministry of Health to to carry out the transport biological samples for clinical and research purposes, and we hold UNI ISO 21973 certification for the transport of cells for therapeutic use. For years, we have been a trusted partner of the IBMDR (Italian Bone Marrow Donor Registry) network.
The transport of biological samples is fundamentally important to ensure the safety of the operators and the correct preservation and treatment of the sample to be transplanted or used for research purposes.
The transport conditions must ensure the maintenance of the stability of the sample and its diagnostic value, as these characteristics are necessary to ensure the reliability of the results of the tests to which the sample is to be subjected.
The time, temperature and methods of remote transport of biological samples and medicinal products are potential sources of corruption of the biological matrix, which has extremely serious consequences.
It is therefore fundamentally important that the transport of biological samples and medicinal products be commissioned to operators with certified reliability.
