Clinical Trial CourierCharlotte, NC metro
In a trial, the transport leg is part of the protocol. A missing timestamp or an undocumented temperature excursion isn't an inconvenience — it's a protocol deviation with a paper trail obligation. SwiftSpec treats your transfer SOP as the specification it is.
We run to your protocol, not our convenience
Before the first kit moves, we work through your lab manual and transfer SOP: collection-to-processing windows, centrifugation timing constraints, ambient versus refrigerated versus frozen legs, and who is authorized to sign at each end. The run plan is documented and agreed in writing — then executed the same way every time.
Site coordinators get a fixed dispatch contact, not a call center. When a subject visit runs long and the pickup needs to shift, one message moves it, and the change is logged.
Temperature data your monitor can drop into the TMF
Every temperature-sensitive leg carries a calibrated data logger. The record — start, end, and the curve between — is delivered with the run, ready for the trial master file without reformatting. Excursion alerts fire in transit, so a deviation becomes a managed event rather than a discovery at the receiving lab.
Packaging and handling follow UN 3373 Category B requirements. Dry-ice and frozen legs are planned with hold-time margins, not hope.
Chain of custody, end to end
Kits and specimens are scanned at every handoff, tracked with GPS breadcrumbs, and signed for by name at delivery. The timestamped chain-of-custody record accompanies every run — one document that answers who had the sample, when, and under what conditions.
When a sponsor auditor asks how transport was controlled, your answer is a file we already gave you. Nothing to reconstruct, nobody's memory involved.
Charlotte-based, protocol-portable
We serve research sites across the Charlotte metro and run statewide STAT for central-lab legs on request. Newly launched and deliberate about it: our service standards are commitments we measure on every run, and we would rather show you three months of clean timestamps than claim ten years of history.
Send us your transfer SOP and we'll come back with a run plan and rate sheet within 24 hours of a 15-minute needs call.
On Time. Intact. Documented.
A 15-minute needs call gets you a rate sheet within 24 hours — built around your runs, your windows, your cold-chain mix.
