Chain of custody

Your audit trail writes itself.

Five points on every run where the record is written.

  1. 01

    Ordered

    Your site raises the pickup. The requesting ward, the specimen type and the clock all start on the same record.

    Priority and window set at request

  2. 02

    Assigned

    A courier accepts and is named on the run. Their certification is checked against the file before the job is offered.

    Courier named · certification checked

  3. 03

    Collected

    Barcode scanned at the bench, not at the door. The cooler is sealed in front of the tech who released it.

    Numbered seal · probe armed

  4. 04

    In transit

    The probe reports on a fixed interval. Drift reaches dispatch before it reaches the courier.

    Probe reads streamed to dispatch

  5. 05

    Closed

    Signature captured at receipt. Scans, reads, seal and signature file into your LIS as one PDF.

    Filed with the run as one record

Equipment

Equipment, not packaging.

Every refrigerated leg travels in one.

Holdover
Qualified

Phase-change panels, validated to hold 2–8 °C for the route — not a box with an ice pack.

Probe
Continuous

Reads streamed to dispatch on a fixed interval and filed with the run.

Seal
Numbered

Applied at the bench, photographed at both ends.

Cleaning
Every leg

Logged after every payload. Category A packouts never reused.

Cold chain

Every leg ships with its own chart.

Not a pass-or-fail stamp at the door. The whole trace, filed with the run.

The network

Illinois, and the runs that leave it.

Depots anchor the state and standing pickup points hang off them. The lit arcs are the out-of-state runs — Milwaukee, Madison, Davenport, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Evansville, Louisville.

What we carry

Six payloads. One standard of handling.

Each one has its own packout, its own window, and the same custody record behind it.

  • STAT

    Emergency pickups

    Around the clock across the Chicago metro, for critical labs and blood products, against the window you set.

  • Routed

    Scheduled loops

    Fixed daily runs between your draw sites and your core lab, built around your cut-offs.

  • 2–8 °C

    Refrigerated

    Continuous probe logging and an excursion protocol that names who acts, and when.

  • Rx

    Pharmacy and infusion

    Compounded IV, specialty scripts and home-infusion supplies, signed for at the door.

  • Isotope

    Radiopharmaceutical

    Routed around the half-life, not the traffic. Dose-calibrated delivery windows.

  • Tissue

    Surgical and implant

    Tissue, grafts and device trays between operating rooms, under full custody.

Standards

Every courier clears all six before they touch a specimen.

We audit the file on a fixed cycle. A lapsed line takes that courier off the road until it clears.
