Diagnostic & Lab Sample Transport Packaging UK, Europe, North America, South America and Asia.

The Diagnostic Packaging Challenge

 

Laboratory samples and biological specimens are among the most time-critical, compliance-sensitive materials in transit. Whether you are transporting clinical diagnostic samples between NHS sites, or temperature-sensitive reagents and kits to field testing locations, the packaging you use must satisfy local regulatory requirements whilst also maintaining sample integrity throughout the journey.

​

For laboratory managers, NHS procurement teams and diagnostic logistics leads, getting packaging wrong can mean compromised sample quality, rejected shipments, regulatory questions and delayed decisions. The opportunity for Puffin is clear: provide a practical, specialist option with the documentation, supply reliability and technical support that busy laboratories need.

​

Puffin Packaging’s Lunda TempChain range includes temperature-controlled options suitable for diagnostic applications, alongside specimen transport solutions supported by clear product information and technical team.
