Top-Tier, Customizable Services

Kitting Solutions Sample Storage

We build custom collection kits tailored to your protocol, with clearly identified collection vessels, patient-linked labels, pre-assembled shipping containers, pre-printed airway bills, and lab manuals included. Kit ordering and resupplies can be done directly through the easy-to-use Slope platform.

Assembled under GMP guidelines and ISO 13485 certification, each kit minimizes the risk of error during sample collection, keeping your study on schedule.

We offer clinical trial sample storage across a full temperature range, with all equipment and processes governed by our Quality Management System (QMS).

Our environmental monitoring system tracks temperature and environmental conditions, ensuring sample integrity is always maintained.

When situations arise, CellCarta is always prepared. All storage units are connected to backup generators, and validated redundant units are on standby, if needed.

CellCarta's Virtual Central Sample Management platform provides start-to-finish oversight for your clinical samples.

Sample reconciliation is performed after every shipment, and electronic inventory records are always shared with your team, so you can follow your samples.

Up until successful delivery, we track all outbound and inbound shipments between CellCarta’s facilities and receiving labs, ensuring any issues in-transit are promptly resolved.

Our global footprint means we can support trial sites across North and South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. Familiarity with country-specific import and export regulations ensures your samples are shipped without unnecessary transit delays or customs holds.

We work alongside a variety of couriers to provide logistical options that best accommodate the performance requirements of your clinical trial.

Using validated protocols to retrieve cells in excellent condition, we can achieve a sample recovery rate of approximately 95%, ensuring your data quality is never compromised.
