Time-sensitive specimen movement
Laboratory Courier & Specimen Transport Service
Laboratory courier service for collection sites and clinical labs. Plan scheduled specimen transport, STAT pickups, and documented handoffs with MOVE.
Time-sensitive specimen movement
Keep every handoff visible and accountable with planned routes, urgent response, timestamps, and electronic delivery records.
Request a specimen transport plan with your collection locations, laboratory receiving hours, pickup frequency, expected volume, and specimen-specific handling instructions. The laboratory defines packaging and acceptance requirements; MOVE confirms the proposed route, timing, and required controls before accepting service. Availability is reviewed across the contiguous United States.
Put it into practice
Delivery scenarios worth planning for.
Illustrative use cases—not claims of completed customer work.
01
Connect collection sites to a receiving laboratory with scheduled specimen pickups planned around processing cutoffs. Agree on escalation steps for delays or a closed receiving location.
02
Coordinate movement between pathology collection locations and the designated laboratory, with shipment identifiers, handoff records, and receiving instructions defined by the program.
03
Consolidate multiple collection stops into a fixed route, or request a STAT pickup when the regular route does not meet a shipment’s timing needs.
04
Review protocol-specific timing, packaging, and documentation before planning research material transport. Specialized shipments require acceptance review rather than a generic service assumption.
Start with clear expectations
Make the first conversation productive.
- Describe the material without patient information
- Share locations, volumes, operating hours and cutoffs
- Specify packaging, temperature and recipient instructions
- Ask what is included, what needs review and how exceptions are handled
Local requirements. Connected coverage.
Explore delivery planning across the contiguous United States. Exact route availability, timing and handling are confirmed before service is accepted.
Good questions. Clear answers.
Before your first delivery.
Where does MOVE provide service?
We coordinate service across the contiguous United States. Your exact pickup and delivery addresses, timing, shipment type and vehicle needs are reviewed before availability is confirmed.
Which service is right for my business?
Use STAT for a time-sensitive single shipment, scheduled service for repeat windows, fixed routes for multiple recurring stops, and a dedicated-driver program for sustained capacity. We can help compare the options.
Can you deliver temperature-sensitive materials?
Share the required range, duration, packaging and monitoring instructions before requesting service. Any specialized handling must be reviewed and agreed in the service plan; it is not automatically included.
What happens if the recipient is unavailable?
Agree on contact, escalation and return instructions before service begins. Healthcare shipments should not be left unattended unless the approved program permits it.
Does submitting a quote book a driver?
No. A request begins a review. Price, timing and capacity must be confirmed before an order is accepted.
What should I include in a request?
Use business contact details and a non-patient description of the route, shipment size, timing and handling needs. Never put diagnoses, prescriptions or other patient information in a public form.
