Sample transport case

Sample transport case

Analysis results are only as precise as the sample quality allows. Correct and safe transport of your samples is therefore crucial for an efficient pre-analytical workflow. Particularly for sensitive or potentially infectious samples, standardised packaging and transport in accordance with regulations is very important. Depending on the sample requirements, continuous cooling and fast transfer to the laboratory must also be taken into account.

Checklist: Important aspects for the selection of sample transport cases

To find the right sample transport case for your needs, it is important to pay attention to product specifications and quality standards. Our checklist will help you make the right choice:

• Purpose: During the selection process, it is crucial to take into account the type of biological samples being transported and whether it would be transported in-house or externally.

• Material properties and design: The robustness, resistance and design have a significant influence on the suitability of the case for certain samples and transport routes. SARSTEDT offers unbreakable, robust solutions that meet the essential transport requirements.

• Protective functions: The case eliably protects samples from external influences, impacts and shocks. Our transport cases in accordance with P650 ADR offer optimum insulation, a shatter-proof outer shell and secure locking or padding devices.

• Dimensions and weight: SARSTEDT offers compact in-house transport cases in various sizes as well as a wide range of designs and sizes for external transport in order to transport different sample quantities and sensitive samples.

• Interior equipment: Our transport cases offer comprehensive interior equipment with protective insulating material in accordance with P650 ADR as well as variants with wide-neck drum, polybag with sealing clip, in-house operating case with insert for various sample containers as well as accessories such as pre-analytical components such as battery bags (without enclosed cooling batteries). Super absorbers (with a capacity of approx. 1,200 ml) may be required depending on the type of sample.

• Transportability: Our transport cases are characterised by a practical one-hand closure lashing eyelets and carrying straps and interchangeable frames, which make them particularly easy to transport. The in-house transport cases offer compact dimensions for efficient in-house courier services.

• Safety features: Pay attention to important safety features such as break resistance and compliance with legal regulations depending on the type of sample, as well as high-quality material properties.

• Certifications: Reliable, certified product quality and adherence to compliance requirements can be recognised by DIN standards and ISO certification.

• Price-performance ratio: The right balance between performance and cost is also important when choosing a transport solution. SARSTEDT offers BAM-approved transport solutions that guarantee you a first-class balance between cost and quality.
