A Critical Link in The Chain Of Custody
Buying the right laboratory equipment is critical to maintaining your high standards. Likewise, a courier lockbox is a critical link in the chain of custody for laboratory specimens and test samples. Holding specimens in a secure, insulated location for collection is integral to a reliable and efficient laboratory.
Since specimen integrity and patient privacy are paramount, a lockbox must be insulated, keyed, with rugged construction. For reasons of efficiency it is common for couriers to collect samples at different times of the day. A lockbox must also be strong and reliable enough to protect contents from tampering or theft while awaiting unattended pickup after hours. This is crucial and lab couriers often go to great lengths to ensure a chain of custody. For example, in order to maintain an auditable paperwork trail, lab couriers typically document each item inside the box and if the box is empty some may take a photograph as proof. Understanding that attention to detail and security is a top priority for the industry, McShane’s laboratory lock boxes are constantly evolving based on the needs of our laboratory customers. This includes a new custom box solution designed specifically for COVID-19 tests.
