Medical Courier for Clinical Trials & CROs
Audit-ready medical courier for clinical research organizations and trial sites. carGO Health provides specimen transport with documented chain-of-custody, temperature logging, and the compliance standards that sponsors, IRBs, and regulatory bodies demand.
Clinical Trial Logistics Leave No Room for Error
clinical trial specimens are irreplaceable. A compromised sample doesn’t just delay a delivery—it can invalidate data, violate protocol, or jeopardize an entire study arm. The stakes are measured in millions of dollars and years of research.
Trial sponsors and IRBs require meticulous documentation: chain-of-custody from collection site to central lab, temperature logs proving specimens stayed within range, timestamps proving delivery windows were met. Generic courier services cannot provide this level of documentation, and the compliance risk is enormous.
CROs coordinating multi-site trials face additional complexity: consistent specimen handling across sites, standardized documentation regardless of geography, and the ability to audit transport records months or years after a delivery occurred.
