Specimen shipping system

BioSystem shipping system is designed specifically for biological samples, to further enhance the company's global biological logistics services.

Leveraging its global experience in clinical specimens transport, the company designed a system with technology for prolonged temperature control while also standardizing box size for optimum freight costs and dry ice use.

BioSystem is designed to assure product integrity throughout the temperature-controlled chain in three standard sizes: 5 Kgs, 9 Kgs and 15 Kgs volumetric weight. Each size is rated to keep biological products frozen for 72 hours or more. The systems have been engineered to be environmentally friendly, validated to conform to ISTA 7E enhanced protocol, and are regionally IATA PI620 approved for the transport of biological specimens.

Additionally, the new boxes are expected to reduce greenhouse emissions by up to 40% with a decreased carbon footprint from the reduction of styrene, [paper]board, and use of less dry ice to achieve greater performance at the same cost as conventional solutions.

The BioSystem(TM) series will be globally available, allowing for universal standardization in all clinical protocols and will support all regions with one consistent application. Clinical researchers will soon have a single global solution to transport specimens using consistent packaging and services from the most remote sites in Europe, Asia, Middle East, and the Americas.
