Life science 3PL · Morrisville, Pennsylvania
Cold chain, labeling and worldwide shipping for research materials and biologics.
Medical 3PL stores, labels, kits and ships temperature-sensitive materials for research institutions, laboratories, clinics and diagnostics companies — controlled room temperature through cryogenic, across the United States and internationally.

Temperature tiers
Every tier your materials need, under one accountable chain.
Most providers hand you off at the edge of their range. We hold the whole ladder, so a programme that spans refrigerated reagents and cryopreserved cells does not span two vendors.
+15 → +25 °C
Controlled room temperature
Ambient-stable materials held inside a defined, monitored range — not simply left in the room.
- Lyophilised reagents
- Plasticware and consumables
- Kit components
- Buffers and media
+2 → +8 °C
Refrigerated
The working temperature of most of the life-science world, and the tier where excursions cost the most.
- Antibodies and enzymes
- Sera and cell culture media
- IVD reagents
- Biologics and vaccines
−20 °C
Frozen
Standard frozen storage for nucleic acids, controls and aliquoted material.
- Nucleic acids and plasmids
- Aliquoted serum
- Assay controls
- Temperature-sensitive enzymes
−80 °C
Ultra-low
Deep frozen storage and dry-ice transport for material that cannot see a warm minute.
- mRNA and viral vectors
- PBMCs and tissue
- Long-term biospecimens
- Master and working banks
≤ −150 °C
Cryogenic
Liquid nitrogen vapour phase, in dry shippers that hold their charge across an international lane.
- Cell and gene therapy material
- Stem cells
- Cryopreserved PBMC
- Reproductive tissue
What we do
Five services that work as one operation.
Take one. Take all five. The handoffs between them are where cold chains usually fail, so we removed the handoffs.
Labeling & Packaging
Approved artwork, printed on stock rated for the temperature it will live at — down to application directly onto already-frozen surfaces.

Cold Chain Storage
Five tiers from controlled room temperature to liquid nitrogen vapour phase, monitored continuously and recorded against your lot and expiry data.
Learn more
Kitting & Assembly
Specimen collection kits, diagnostic kits and protocol-specific builds, assembled to your component list and reconciled on every run.

Fulfillment & Distribution
Receiving, put-away, pick-pack, FEFO rotation, returns and recall support — with the paperwork a regulated client needs behind it.

International Shipping
UN3373, dry ice, dry shippers, import permits and customs documentation, prepared so the shipment clears instead of sitting on a dock.
Learn moreHow it works
Onboarding, without the discovery theatre.
New providers are a risk. Here is exactly what happens, so you can price that risk before you commit anything.
Scope and qualify
We go through your materials, temperature requirements, volumes, documentation and destinations. You get a written scope and a price. If we are not the right fit for part of it, we say so.
Receive and store
Inbound is inspected against your paperwork, logged, and placed in the correct tier. Temperature is monitored continuously and every movement is recorded against your lot and expiry data.
Label, kit and pack
Labels are printed to your approved artwork on stock rated for the temperature they will live at. Kits are built to your component list and reconciled. Packouts use the shipper and coolant your lane actually needs.
Ship and document
Carrier, dangerous-goods paperwork, data logger and customs documentation go out together. You get the chain-of-custody record and the temperature file, not just a tracking number.
Who we serve
Built for the organisations the big networks deprioritise.
Global specialty couriers are excellent and expensive, and their minimums start where most research budgets end. We are built for the other shipments.
Research institutions & universities
Core facilities, individual labs and multi-site studies. Purchase orders, grant timelines and MTA documentation are normal here, not an exception we have to work around.
Laboratories & diagnostics
Reference and hospital laboratories, IVD manufacturers and clinical diagnostics companies moving reagents, controls and specimens on a schedule that does not move.
Clinics & treatment centres
Inbound biologics and consumables, outbound specimens, and the documentation trail that has to hold up when someone audits it a year later.
Biotech & emerging pharma
Pre-clinical through commercial-readiness. Small volumes and high stakes, which is exactly the profile the national networks price out of reach.
CROs & CDMOs
Study-driven volumes that spike and fall. Kit builds, site replenishment, specimen returns and the per-protocol variations that come with them.
Biorepositories & biobanks
Long-horizon storage where chain of custody, redundancy and retrieval time matter more than headline price.
Across borders
International is where cold chains break. It is also where the paperwork decides everything.
A customs hold is not a delay, it is an excursion. Secondary inspection can mean an officer opening your packaging and removing the temperature monitor — and a gap in the monitoring record is treated as an excursion whether or not the product ever left range.
- IATA Packing Instruction 650 for UN3373 Biological Substance, Category B
- Dry ice under UN1845 / PI 954, with per-carrier and per-lane quantity limits checked before booking
- Liquid nitrogen dry vapour shippers for cryogenic lanes
- Exempt human and animal specimen classification and marking
- Commercial invoices, HS classification and declared values that clear rather than trigger holds
- CDC and USDA APHIS import permit support, and Material Transfer Agreement documentation
Where we are
Morrisville, Pennsylvania — on the Delaware, opposite Trenton.
We sit in Lower Bucks County where I-295 meets US Route 1, roughly 27 miles from Philadelphia and directly across the river from New Jersey, which holds more than 5,600 life-science establishments and over 700 contract research organisations. Most of our clients’ science happens within a two-hour drive.
