Case study

Clinical trial shipment containing dry ice transported to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil by On Board Courier

Background story: A healthcare company based in The Netherlands was conducting a clinical trial for a new medication that required extremely low temperatures for storage and transportation. The company needed to ship the medication to their clinical trial site located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and wanted to ensure a fast and secure delivery.

Solution OBC: To achieve this, the healthcare company engaged the service of an On Board Courier (OBC) by MYOBC to transport the medication. An OBC is a courier who personally accompanies the shipment from the point of origin to the final destination, ensuring the fastest possible delivery time and the highest level of security.

The healthcare company packaged the medication in a temperature-controlled bag with dry ice to maintain the necessary low temperature during transport. We collected the shipment from the lab in Leiden and handed it over to our OBC at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, who personnaly accompanied it on the flight to Rio de Janeiro, monitoring the temperature and ensuring that the medication remained secure throughout the journey. 

Upon arrival: in Rio de Janeiro, the OBC personally delivered the medication to the clinical trial site, ensuring that the medication was received by the appropriate personnel and that the necessary documentation was signed.

Conclusion: Thanks to the use of an On Board Courier, the healthcare company was able to ensure the fast and secure delivery of the clinical trial shipment, reducing the risk of any temperature fluctuations or security breaches that could compromise the integrity of the medication and the outcome of the clinical trial.
