Transport examples

Direct delivery: radioactive sample
A radioactive sample meant for medical use must be transported from Zyklotron in Orsay (France) to the center for nuclear medicine in Poitiers (France) as quickly as possible. The transport must be processed immediately – otherwise the sample will no longer be of any use.

08:45: The customer calls.
09:15: The FLASH courier picks up the shipment in Orsay. The sample is packed and transported according to the safety regulations. Now the focus is to overcome the distance of more than 300 km in the shortest possible amount of time.
12:45: The shipment is personally delivered to the recipient at the center for nuclear medicine. The customer immediately receives delivery status notification.

Transport of a blood sample from Guyana to France
FLASH  receives an urgent call from a customer: a blood sample (suspected of containing the Ebola virus) must be transported from Guyana to France as quickly as possible.

A FLASH  courier picks up the shipment from the customer in Guyana. Adherence to safety regulations is of course the top priority and a triple packaging system was created for this purpose. The shipment is transported by air to Paris (in compliance with IATA regulations). The sample is then immediately transported by car to the laboratory in Lyon, where the FLASH courier delivers the shipment to the responsible head of the laboratory. The customer is then informed about the successful delivery.
