The transport of biological samples has standard : ISO 15189 - Medical biology laboratories: Quality and competence requirements - devotes a paragraph to sample transport, which states:
"The laboratory must have a documented procedure to ensure that samples are transported :
a) within a timeframe appropriate to the nature of the tests requested and the discipline concerned,
b) at a specified temperature range for sample collection and handling, and with recommended stabilizing agents to ensure sample integrity, and
c) in a manner that ensures sample integrity and safety for the carrier, the general public and the receiving laboratory, in accordance with established requirements."
Before centrifugation, samples must be transported and stored at room temperature between 15°C and 25°C. It is strongly discouraged to have a temperature of +2°C to +8°C or > 37°C.
The Fresh Tag 1 USB temperature data logger single use is the ideal choice for monitoring and recording temperature changes of sensitive products during transport. It's less expensive, comfortable to use and saves space. The integrated PDF file generation function enables data reports to be generated in non-editable PDF format by connecting the logger to a PC via the USB2.0 interface.We offer a variety of models with different functions, and the trip can extend over 7, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, or even 180 days to meet the specific needs of various applications. The products are made from food-grade packaging materials. They are compact, lightweight, watertight and widely used.
