The Delco Advantage: Global Reach from a Local Hub

For pharmaceutical sponsors in Radnor, Wayne, and Media, speed is everything. Relying on national carriers often means your critical shipments get lost in a massive sorting hub. Patwell offers a dedicated, “white-glove” alternative.

Our proximity to Delaware County allows us to offer:

  • PHL Airport Connectivity: We utilize Philadelphia International Airport for Next Flight Out (NFO) services, ensuring that time-sensitive biologics reach global investigators without delay.

  • Rapid Ground Transport: Our courier fleet services the entire Delaware Valley, providing same-day delivery between your facilities and our GMP warehouse.

  • Crisis Management: When a site runs low on inventory, our local team can expedite emergency shipments in hours, not days.

Comprehensive Clinical Supply Chain Management

We don’t just move boxes; we manage the integrity of your study data through precise temperature control and chain-of-custody tracking.

1. Cold Chain Integrity

Maintaining the efficacy of Investigational Medicinal Products (IMP) is our priority. We offer validated shipping solutions across all verified temperature ranges:

  • Controlled Room Temperature (CRT): 20°C to 25°C.

  • Refrigerated: 2°C to 8°C.

  • Frozen: -10°C to -25°C.

  • Note: All shipments include calibrated temperature monitors to detect excursions during transit.

2. Import/Export Expertise

Navigating customs can be a major bottleneck for international trials. Patwell’s logistics team manages the complex documentation required for global distribution, acting as your Importer of Record (IOR) when needed to clear clinical supplies through customs efficiently.

3. Storage & Distribution Hub

For companies with limited footprint in Delaware County, we act as your off-site warehouse.

  • Store your bulk API or finished kits in our 92,400 cu. ft. CRT warehouse or walk-in cold chambers.

  • Distribute “on demand” to clinical sites as patient enrollment progresses.
