Customized Specimen Collection Kits

The configuration of collection kits and the minimum supply quantity shipped to the sites are pre-determined with together with the partner. The kits are then prepared JIT (Just in Time) in unit packages by our logistics department and shipped to each site, pre-labeled with site, study, visit id and expiry date.

All custom designed visit-specific specimen collection kits include: 

• Specimen collection supplies
• Collection tubes and aliquots
• Bar-coded labels for each tube
• Pre-printed laboratory requisition forms

All shipping documents and instructions for the return shipment of samples to CIRION are sent along with the kits.  Investigative Sites can reorder kits at any time through an easy process described in the Laboratory Manual.  The re-supply process can also be automated upon request.  A turnaround of 5 working days for kit delivery is guaranteed for sites in North America.
