CLINICAL TRIALS
COURIER & LOGISTICS
Specialist clinical trial logistics and IMP distribution across the UK and internationally. From first patient in to study close-out, we handle the complexity so you can focus on the science.
End-to-End Trial Logisitcs
Clinical trials run on precision. Protocols demand exact temperatures, sites need supplies when promised, and regulatory authorities expect complete documentation. One logistics failure can compromise months of work, patient safety, and millions in trial investment.
aragon Logistics provides courier and logistics services designed for pharmaceutical companies, CROs, biotech firms, and research institutions. Our validated cold chain management, 24/7 emergency response, and comprehensive documentation support every phase of your clinical trial.
IMP DISTRIBUTION
Temperature-controlled distribution of investigational medicinal products to trial sites across single-centre or multi-centre studies, with chain of custody documentation and electronic proof of delivery.
BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE LOGISTICS
Reverse logistics for patient samples from trial sites to central laboratories, including scheduled collections, express same-day transport, and integration with CTMS and LIMS systems.
INTERNATIONAL COVERAGE
Global IMP distribution and sample collection covering Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and emerging markets, with full customs clearance and local regulatory compliance.
TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED TRANSPORT
Many trial medications and biological samples require precise temperature control. Temperature excursions can invalidate expensive IMPs or compromise sample integrity. Our validated cold chain maintains ambient (15-25°C), refrigerated (2-8°C), frozen (-20°C), and ultra-cold (-80°C) conditions throughout transit.
Every shipment includes calibrated temperature data loggers with continuous recording, automatic excursion alerts, and full audit trails. We use pharmaceutical-grade transport packaging with pre-qualified cool boxes, phase change materials for stability, and shock-resistant designs protecting fragile vials.
PHASE I TRIALS
Small-scale logistics supporting first-in-human studies with flexible, responsive service and rapid protocol amendment capability.
PHASE II TRIALS
Multi-site distribution for dose-ranging and efficacy studies, with scalable logistics supporting patient recruitment and site expansion.
PHASE III TRIALS
High-volume distribution across numerous sites and countries, with robust supply chain management and risk mitigation strategies.
CLINICAL TRIAL STORAGE & WAREHOUSING
Oncology Trials
Temperature-sensitive biological therapies, cell therapies, and small molecule oncology drugs with urgent patient-specific logistics.
Vaccines & Immunology
Ultra-cold chain logistics for mRNA vaccines and temperature-sensitive immunological products requiring validated -80°C transport.
Cell & Gene Therapy
Specialist logistics for autologous and allogeneic cell therapies with liquid nitrogen shipping and time-critical delivery.
Electronic Proof of Delivery
Digital signature capture with timestamp, GPS location, and temperature verification delivered instantly to stakeholders.
How quickly can you deliver emergency IMP resupply?
UK same-day delivery is available for most locations with 4-6 hour turnaround. International emergency shipments typically deliver within 24-48 hours.
Do you provide temperature validation documentation?
Every shipment includes calibrated temperature data logger records. We provide full validation packages including temperature mapping studies and packaging qualification for regulatory submissions.
Can you handle biological sample collections?
Yes. We provide reverse logistics from trial sites to central laboratories with validated cool boxes, temperature-monitored transport, barcode tracking, and chain of custody documentation.
Can you integrate with our CTMS or IVRS system?
We offer API integration with CTMS, IVRS/IWRS, and LIMS for automated tracking, delivery notifications, and inventory management.
