Specialty Labs
Courier Network

Door-to-door specimen logistics

Diagnostic specimens are time- and temperature-critical — a missed pickup or a grounded carrier can invalidate a result. So we don’t rent our logistics. Specialty Labs contracts directly with airlines and runs its own ground couriers across every service area, which means we move samples on days, routes, and conditions the national carriers won’t.

Why it holds up

We own the network end to end

Direct airline contracts

We hold specimen-transport agreements directly with commercial carriers — not through a freight broker — so island-to-mainland samples fly on scheduled lift we control, with same-day connections between our labs.

Our own couriers

Pickup and last-mile delivery run on Specialty Labs couriers and routes across Puerto Rico, the US, and the US Virgin Islands — dedicated drivers who know the clinics, not a rotating third-party fleet.

Ships when others don’t

When UPS and FedEx suspend service — remote areas, holidays, weather, cut-off windows — our controlled network keeps moving, so specimens still reach the bench in time.

The Caribbean lane

St. Thomas and St. Croix, straight to San Juan

Our own inter-island lift moves specimens from both U.S. Virgin Islands to the San Juan hub on daily, temperature-controlled runs — no dependence on national carriers that skip the territory.

How a specimen moves

From the clinic door to the bench

Pickup

Our courier collects at the clinic — scheduled routes and STAT on-call, with supplies replenished on the same run.

Cold chain

Temperature-controlled handling and chain-of-custody from the door to the aircraft.

Airlift

Direct-contract airline lift connects the islands to the mainland on same-day scheduled flights.

On the bench

Received, accessioned and processed on arrival — 24–48 hour turnaround, resulted in LabSecure.App.
