Integrated Sample Lifecycle Management

United Pharmaceuticals delivers structured, compliant, and end-to-end sample management solutions designed to preserve sample quality throughout the drug development lifecycle. From initial collection to long-term storage and final disposition, our systems are built to maintain traceability, integrity, and regulatory alignment across preclinical, clinical, and bioanalytical programs.

Our operations teams oversee samples around the clock, ensuring uninterrupted monitoring, controlled handling, and seamless coordination across global study sites.

 

Global Sample Logistics and Chain of Custody

We manage both fresh and frozen biological specimens under stringent GxP conditions. Our logistics framework supports a wide variety of matrices, including:

  • Plasma and serum
  • Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
  • Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)
  • Tissues and biopsies
  • Urine, feces, and other specialty matrices

Time-critical collections, validated transport routes, temperature-controlled shipping, and long-term storage are all governed through documented procedures. Every sample movement is recorded to ensure full traceability and compliance.

Critical reagents and reference standards are managed with equal rigor, including controlled ordering, inventory tracking, regulated usage, and compliant disposal—ensuring study reproducibility and data reliability.

 

Accelerated Sample Intake and Processing

For studies operating under tight timelines—such as single-ascending dose and multiple-ascending dose trials—indication workflows are prioritized upon receipt. Fresh samples are rapidly logged, verified, and transferred directly to analytical teams to minimize turnaround time and support faster data availability.

 

Advanced and Specialized Handling Expertise

United Pharmaceuticals supports complex sample workflows requiring enhanced handling controls, including low-volume and microsampling formats.

Our trained personnel are qualified to manage hazardous and sensitive materials, including cytotoxic compounds and biosafety level 2 specimens. Experience spans both animal and human-derived matrices, with continuous documentation of custody, conditions, and processing steps to maintain regulatory compliance and scientific integrity.

 

Long-Term Sample Retention and Post-Study Management

Post-study sample services are designed to support future regulatory inquiries, repeat analyses, or exploratory research. Secure storage options enable long-term preservation, while flexible disposition pathways allow samples to be archived, returned, or destroyed in accordance with sponsor protocols and regulatory requirements.

 

Dedicated Operational Teams and Study Planning Support

From early protocol development through execution, our sample operations specialists proactively identify logistical risks, streamline workflows, and align operational plans with scientific objectives. Their hands-on involvement ensures continuity, accuracy, and efficiency throughout the study lifecycle.

 

Digital Sample Tracking and Data Oversight

Our Laboratory Information Management System provides centralized visibility across all sample activities. Every storage condition, movement, and freeze-thaw cycle is recorded in real time, enabling precise oversight and informed decision-making while maintaining audit readiness and data integrity.

 

Tailored Sample Collection Kits

We design and assemble study-specific collection kits customized to protocol requirements, timelines, and site needs. Each kit includes standardized labeling, packaging, and instructions to reduce variability and operational error.

Specialized kits are available for advanced study designs, including:

  • Cellular and immunological assays
  • Tissue-based studies
  • Molecular and genetic analysis
  • Microsampling and remote collection
  • Stabilized sample handling

Training and documentation are provided to ensure proper usage across all sites.

 

Multi-Site Clinical Sample Coordination

Our teams manage sample flows across multicenter clinical studies with consistency and oversight. Standardized procedures, centralized communication, and real-time tracking ensure sample integrity is maintained regardless of location—whether at United Pharmaceuticals facilities or partner clinical sites.

 

Controlled Storage of Reagents and Reference Materials

All matrices, reagents, and reference standards are electronically tracked with restricted access controls. Complete documentation ensures accountability, traceability, and compliance, recognizing the critical role these materials play in study accuracy and reproducibility.

 

Standardized Risk Control Framework

Our operations follow structured, standardized workflows designed to identify, mitigate, and manage risk at every stage. This approach minimizes variability, enhances consistency, and strengthens regulatory confidence across studies.
