The Journey Of A Biological Sample: Explained

By FedEx | March 16, 2023

When it comes to shipping biological samples for clinical trials, every second counts. Find out why speed and a carefully controlled transportation environment are essential to ensure a clinical trial’s success.

FedEx Clinical Care is our world-class healthcare service: an end-to-end shipping solution to meet the precise logistics needs of clinical trials. We’re experts at transporting precious biological samples at the speed and temperature required for a safe, compliant clinical trial process.

Whether you’re moving samples domestically or internationally, the successful outcome of clinical trials relies on logistics precision and a reliable, carefully controlled journey at every step.

When it comes to biological samples that needed to be stored and shipped in temperature-controlled conditions with a short-shelf life, any compromise to the quality of the samples can set a trial back by months - or even years. Each step of the way, we’re committed to the integrity of every sample we transport.

Our industry-leading cold-chain technology and years of healthcare shipping expertise mean we can manage samples of all temperature ranges, and handle the entire process, from packaging to paperwork. Real-time tracking and sensor technology allow us to monitor the location and temperature condition of your package throughout the journey. And we have a dedicated team monitoring your shipment 24-7, with predictive technology in place to map out contingencies should anything unexpected occur.

Check out the video below to understand how a typical biological sample journey plays out from origin to destination.
