Expertise at Three Levels
The safe and legal transport of frozen biological material requires a thorough understanding of:
• The science of cryo-preservation
• The countless state and federal regulations governing shipping and transportation, and...
• The products and equipment needed to preserve materials at ultra-low temperatures.
Pacific Scientific Transport brings all three areas of expertise together to ensure that our customers' biological material is maintained at the desired temperature during all phases of the transportation process. We package and move regulated chemicals, as well.
Your Equipment...Or Ours
Whether material is to be moved in customer-owned equipment or ours, you can rest assured that every sample will be handled with care. Our technicians are trained and our vehicles are designed and equipped to handle any type of job involving the packaging and transport of temperature or humidity-sensitive material and equipment.
Our Guarantee
Our SOP driven quality system guarantees that your material and equipment will be maintained at the desired temperature. We control and monitor not only the temperature inside the equipment used to transport the material, but also the ambient environment inside our vehicles.
Rigorous Vehicle Maintenance and Inspection
Our vehicles are subjected to rigorous inspection, testing and maintenance protocols and every critical system is designed to incorporate redundancy and thereby minimize the possibility of failure. We carry empty, stand-by, at-temperature back-up freezers on board at all times.
TRAINING, EXPERIENCE AND APPRECIATION
Traditional moving services lack the training and experience necessary to address the unique problems associated with the transport of frozen biological material. In contrast, Pacific Scientific Transport is part of a business association that moves, sells, rents and repairs a wide range of scientific equipment and operates a state of the art biological repository.
Our Drivers
Our drivers possess not only the licensing and expertise required to safely transport hazardous materials in interstate commerce, but they are also trained technicians who understand biological material and the specialized equipment and procedures necessary to handle it safely. We appreciate the uniqueness of each specimen we transport, and the often extraordinary effort that went into its collection and processing.
Attentive Customer Service
We provide our customers with the extra personal attention needed to make even the most nervous researcher comfortable with the process and confident in our abilities. And for customers who don't have the necessary equipment to transport their material, we can provide whatever is needed, including refrigerators and freezers for any temperature range.
HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS / INFECTIOUS MATERIALS? NO PROBLEM
The legal transport of hazardous material, including regulated chemicals and infectious material, presents an array of special problems and concerns. Failure to comply with applicable federal shipping regulations can result in civil penalties of up to $27,500 per violation and imprisonment of up to five years.
Any attempt to package and/or transport hazardous materials without certified training in current regulations could result in significant civil penalties for an individual, company or institution. We are experts in accessing our customers' needs and ensuring that they comply with all applicable laws. In addition, we hold several DOT special permits/exemptions that allow us to cost effectively transport significant quantities of frozen infectious material in operational freezers.
FACILITY RELOCATION SERVICES
Pacific Scientific Transport has forged a strategic partnership with a nationwide, moving and storage company that is the leader in laboratory relocation services. Working with our partner, we can relocate your entire facility, including biological material, laboratory equipment, furnishings, and personal affects. Let our expertise in laboratory relocation make your next move a seamless transition.
