Facilitates the equipment demand for COVID trials
The global pandemic catalyzed a paradigm shift from various studies towards an increase in COVID-19 trials. This shift led to high demand for clinical equipment, within the short lead team and more pressure on storage supply and distribution. More ad hoc demands come together with a sophisticated distribution strategy, timely preparation, and shipping of large bulks of equipment. Our new warehouse facilitates large COVID and time-critical decentralized trial demands globally.
Supplying decentralized trials
The COVID pandemic accelerates remote studies which results in an increase of decentralized and hybrid trial equipment. Remote trials make sure patients still have access to studies in a safe compliant manner when traditional sites can be cut out. Consequently, demands picked up for portable centrifuges, infusion pumps, and Electrocardiogram (ECG) equipment for direct-to-patient or via home nursing networks. This results in a large amount of clinical home nursing equipment being stored, configured, and provided in short time windows. Also, we saw a strong globalization of the decentralized study markets in upcoming countries like, (e.g. Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Japan, and Australia).
Our new warehouse facilitates the preparation, collection, and distribution of clinical supplies and home nursing kits worldwide. The facility has a controlled room temperature, and quality processes, following the (GxP /ISO9001) guidelines, to provision, manage, and distribute supplies to sites and study home nurse locations. With our dedicated network of logistical and equipment partners, can service decentralized trials within the next day.
Providing storage for global study equipment needs
The Netherlands is seen as one of the top European hubs for global Cargo and freight forwarding.

Equipment owned by biotech- and CRO clients can also be stored, configured, and distributed from our warehouse. With one of the largest clinical equipment storage spaces in The Netherlands, we can generate high demands of storage and distribution needs. Our equipment dispatch and logistics Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) will shared with clients. Naturally, we follow the Good Clinical Practice (GxP) requirements inside our facility.
Storage and distribution for UK partners and clients
Brexit impacts many studies, and many British companies face challenges in the timely delivery of equipment and clinical supplies for EU shipment at customs. Also, time investment and high logistic prices force UK companies to find EU hubs for their equipment needs. Our local EU clinical equipment facility and storage can assist in overcoming these challenges
