R&D samples (biologic or chemical)
Bringing a drug to market successfully often takes several years and an investment of millions of dollars. That's why dependable supply chain support is critical from the very start. From early research and development to pre-clinical safety testing, our logistics experts safeguard the integrity of your biological samples and reagents as we move them to and from bioanalytic labs, manufacturing facilities and testing sites.
API and bulk drug substance
Launching a new bulk drug is an expensive undertaking, requiring rigorous scientific research and validation trials. That's why removing as much risk as possible from the logistics involved in shipping bulk drugs and their active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is so important.
