Precision When It Matters Most

Transit time, packaging, and handling requirements matter for clinical specimens. GLMT helps coordinate transport from collection sites to laboratories, with documented pickup and delivery events.

Laboratory Transport Focus

  • Time-Sensitive Routing: Plan scheduled pickups around your collection times, lab receiving hours, and specimen transport requirements. Route availability is confirmed before service begins.
  • Event History Traceability: Recorded pickup and delivery events support a reviewable custody history for each order.
  • Temperature Requirement Coordination: Discuss ambient, refrigerated, or frozen handling needs, packaging responsibilities, and route suitability during onboarding, before requesting transport.
  • STAT Capabilities: System architecture built to handle on-demand, high-priority dispatches alongside scheduled routine runs.

Systematic Reliability

Laboratory staff can use their client portal to review order status and delivery documentation. Dispatchers coordinate the transport workflow separately; laboratory accessioning remains part of the receiving lab's own process.

Photo-Based Proof of Delivery

Every delivery stop has its own location-specific photo evidence and recorded delivery event. For multi-destination orders, those records are brought together in one combined proof-of-delivery document.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who confirms specimen packaging and handling requirements?

The sending and receiving organizations must specify packaging, acceptance and handling requirements before the run is accepted. Do not assume that every specimen type or temperature requirement can be accommodated.

How is a laboratory handoff documented?

The order workflow records custody events and delivery evidence. Agree with dispatch which receiving details and records are needed for the laboratory's workflow before sending a shipment.

Can a lab request a time-sensitive pickup?

Yes. We operate 24/7 and accept STAT requests at any hour. Call dispatch with the specimen handling requirements and receiving window to confirm the pickup plan; availability does not promise a fixed arrival time.
