QuickSTAT Offers Seminars For Life Science Community—'Shipping Clinical Research Samples, Investigational Drugs And Vaccines Safely And In Compliance'

Training helps shippers avoid costly incidents, delays and legal penalties.

QuickSTAT will be hosting its annual Life Science Transportation Seminars to train shippers of clinical research samples, investigational drugs and vaccines to be compliant with the significant changes to the 2013 IATA DGR regulations.

The seminars will be held in New Brunswick, NJ on May 7, Cambridge, MA on May 16, and Research Triangle Park, NC on May 21. 2013.  Specific details can be found at: http://eventreg.qicstat.com/

Transportation of biological substances and infectious materials has become increasingly challenging.  With heightened enforcement and penalties by the FAA, along with new regulations and requirements, shipper’s need to know more and do more than ever before. Among topics to be discussed are the new "de minimis" exception that was written for the pharmaceutical industry and Dangerous Goods in Excepted Quantities.

The seminar will provide a full explanation of the new 2013 laws and requirements so that shippers can package, classify and ship clinical specimens and investigational drugs correctly and in compliance. Attendees will gain an understanding of their risks and liabilities involved in the worldwide transport of infectious and biological substances, HAZMAT goods and dry ice by air.  Plus, they will learn how to avoid costly incidents and legal penalties.  All attendees will receive a certificate of completion for Biopharmaceutical Awareness training.

For over 30 years, QuickSTAT has played a critical role in managing clinical trial logistics for all phases of research and drug development. QuickSTAT specializes in global shipping of time and temperature-sensitive clinical research samples, investigational drugs, clinical trial supplies, vaccines and dangerous goods.
