From Orpington we move blood and tissue samples in temperature-controlled containers, biological specimens in tamper-evident bags, urgent prescriptions and controlled drugs under pharmacist-approved processes, clinical trial investigational medicinal products, and bulky lab equipment on Luton or 7.5 tonne vehicles where the consignment requires it.
