Biological Materials Transport

When moving regulated materials, it’s crucial to find an experienced biosample transport partner. With in-depth knowledge of regulatory compliance and biological transport security, Azenta Life Sciences handles all materials with the utmost care, ensuring that sample integrity during the relocation process remains our number one priority. We collect your biological materials, laboratory chemicals, and reagents from research sites, testing laboratories, company headquarters, or other storage centers and transport them using industry best practices based on your cold chain shipping needs. With flexibility to store your samples in customer-owned or Azenta-owned equipment during the move, utilize temperature-controlled environments ranging from ambient to -190°C, and access HAZMAT-certified drivers and personnel, our highly trained and licensed professionals help customers develop a comprehensive and customized cold chain sample transport plan.

Our experts are IATA and USDOT trained, certified in logistics and packaging, and fully compliant with federal and state regulations. Several risk scenarios are considered during transit with processes designed to ensure maximum material and sample safety and trucks equipped with 24/7 alarmed security, at-temperature back-up freezers readily available, extra LN2 supply, and diesel-powered generators to provide redundant power and temperature environments to always keep your samples safe.
