Apheresis Collection & Vein-to-Vein Logistics

End-to-end logistics solutions for cell and gene therapy workflows — from leukapheresis collection to final drug product delivery. We manage the transport of blood-derived materials and finished products under controlled conditions, ensuring full traceability and compliance. Our network across Europe and the U.S. enables seamless, time-sensitive, cross-border apheresis collection, storage, and distribution — ensuring materials arrive safely, on time, and in optimal condition. 

 

Apheresis
Collection Services 


  • Autologous and allogeneic cell collection services through our legacy network of apheresis sites across Europe and the U.S. 

  • Expertise in harvesting peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), including T cells, monocytes, and other target populations 

  • Nearly 3,000 successful collections performed across multiple indications, geographies, and technologies 


Benefit:
Reliable, high-quality starting material from trusted partners — with full traceability, Chain of Identity (COI), and regulatory compliance.

End-to-End Apheresis Site Management 


  • Identification, qualification, and contracting of apheresis sites 

  • Auditing, monitoring, and training of site personnel for specific protocols and procedures 

  • Optimization of collection parameters and technical settings 


Benefit:
You gain a fully managed, compliant collection network without the operational burden.

Integrated Logistics & Transport 


  • Full logistics support including shipping studies, transport validation, and real-time tracking 

  • Transport of apheresis materials between manufacturing and clinic, with optimized transatlantic workflows to shorten vein‑to‑vein time 

  • Managed via our CONNECT™ software platform for cloud-based manufacturing orchestration and full visibility 


Benefit:
Global cold‑chain integrity with full Chain of Custody (COC) and oversight from pickup to delivery — reducing risks, operational complexity, and timelines.

Storage, Packaging & Distribution 


  • GxP-compliant storage for finished goods across all temperature ranges: LN₂, -80 °C, -20 °C, +2 to +8 °C, and +15 to +25 °C 

  • Secondary labeling and distribution services for investigational medicinal products (IMPs) 

  • Wide range of validated packaging solutions (e.g., dry shippers, dry ice, ambient) 

  • Global distribution capabilities across the EU, UK, China and U.S. 


Benefit:
Your products are stored and shipped under optimal conditions — ready for use when and where you need them.
