Pre-clinical logistics services are specialized supply chain and transportation solutions that support pre-clinical research and development (R&D) in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries. These services ensure that all materials needed for drug discovery and early-stage testing are delivered safely, compliantly, and efficiently.

Preclinical logistics services involve the management and transportation of materials, samples, and data during the early stages of drug development—before clinical trials in humans begin. This phase is crucial for testing safety, efficacy, and dosing in lab and animal studies. Logistics at this stage must support a fast-moving R&D environment, comply with biosafety regulations, and ensure data integrity.

🧰 Specialized Preclinical Logistics Services Include:

🧊 Temperature-controlled shipping (2–8°C, -20°C, -80°C, cryogenic)

🚛 IATA/ADR-compliant transport for biological materials and hazardous goods

🧬 Biological sample kitting & distribution (e.g. pre-packaged kits for multiple labs)

📦 Validated packaging solutions (UN3373, UN2814, Category A/B infectious substances)

🕐 Time-sensitive pickups & delivery for perishable or urgent materials

📈 Inventory management systems for samples and materials

🔒 Data security & regulatory documentation support

🔍 Why Preclinical Logistics Matters

⏳ Delays or errors in sample transport can jeopardize timelines and invalidate results.

☣️ Mishandling of hazardous or biological materials can lead to safety breaches or regulatory violations.

🚀 Proper logistics enables faster, more efficient R&D, helping bring therapies to clinical trials and market sooner.
