What’s Regenerative Medicine Logistics
Learn more about Regenerative Medicine Logistics.
Here we address general questions regarding regenerative medicine logistics, and share information designed to aid understanding.
① What issues do I need to bear in mind when organizing regenerative medicine logistics
When considering and carrying out the transport of cells and products used in regenerative medicine, you need to take into account the characteristics of the cells and products being transported, the nature of the treatment, pre- and post-transport processes, and other background matters, as well as shipping conditions.
② Will the shipping company be able to comply with our strict controls and protocols
Companies that offer general shipping services are unlikely to be able to deliver fast enough or fulfil other requirements. We recommend consulting shippers that specialize in this area and have relevant experience.
③ The items we want to ship are non-pharmaceutical in nature. Are they able to be transported
Operators that transport cells, tissues, products derived from living organisms, and genetically-modified materials need to be able to comply with the relevant rules. As a specialist in medical transport, Saroute will propose the optimum solution to your problem.
④ Can delicate cultures and products be carried in trucks and aircraft
The answer depends on the nature and condition of the culture or product. We suggest performing a trial run first using the same route and under the same conditions.
Saroute will propose the best solution!

Benefit
1. You will spend less time organizing shipping materials and packing samples.
Current issue: We have to devote a lot of personnel and time to the preparation of shipping materials and the packing drugs and samples.
The Saroute advantage: Saroute will provide shipping boxes suitable for the cells or regenerative medicine products being transported. You can rely on us for everything from the supply of shipping materials to the packing of samples and drugs.
2. You can rely on our highly-trained staff with peace of mind.
Current issue: We realize you will be worried about the prospect of your cells or regenerative medicine supplies being delivered by someone who does not understand what they are transporting. The transportation of medical supplies requires extensive expertise based on specialized knowledge and experience.
The Saroute advantage: You can rely on our highly-trained staff with peace of mind. At Saroute, all staff involved with delivering your shipment will have undergone the appropriate training. You can rely on us not only to manage and handle cells and regenerative medical supplies, but also to process documentation and reconcile shipments against documents.
3. We will propose packaging materials and delivery routes tailored to your requirements.
Current issue: Ambient temperature fluctuates during transit. While we were able to maintain constant temperature in a regular indoor environment, we cannot guarantee that the same will apply under the punishing conditions experienced in transit.
The Saroute advantage: We test the thermal properties of all shipping containers, and will include a temperature data logger with the shipment if necessary. We will decide on a route (and therefore the time spent in transit) based on the duration the shipping box is able to maintain a constant temperature.
Case study

Used in a Range of Scenarios.
Solution
Providing Logistical Support to the Regenerative Medicine Sector while Taking
into Account Shipment Properties, Specific Situations, and Conditions in Transit
When considering and putting in place logistical arrangements for the transportation cells and other products used in the regenerative medicine sector, there is a need to consider the characteristics of the cells or products involved, the nature of the treatment, and the processes that take place before and after shipping. Drawing on its experience in the medical and biotech sectors, Saroute is able to tailor its transportation services to the characteristics of the cells and other products being transported.
1. Establishment of logistical arrangements for transporting cells, trial products,
and cell-derived products
We will create agreements and protocols covering ordering, collection, transportation, delivery, and reporting. All relevant staff will be trained in these protocols.
2. Cryogenic transportation of products used in trials and regenerative medicine
applications
A delivery person will arrive at the designated date and time with a dry shipper filled with liquid nitrogen that fits the shape of the ampoule case or sample box.
3. Same-day delivery
After consulting with the client, we will formulate a delivery plan that ensures the shipment is transported from the medical institution to the manufacturing facility/cell culture facility as quickly as possible.
