What this service covers

Available across Whatcom and Skagit counties, on one-time requests and recurring routes.

Built around lab cut-offs

Routes are timed to your laboratory's receiving windows, not to a generic delivery schedule.

Properly packaged shipments

Specimens must be packaged, sealed, and labeled by the sending organization. Our couriers verify the outer container's condition at pickup.

Scheduled or STAT

Run a daily or multi-daily route, and add urgent specimen transport between runs when a result cannot wait.

Trained handling

Couriers complete bloodborne pathogens and HIPAA training before handling healthcare shipments.

What we do and don't claim

  • TyVia does not currently advertise temperature-controlled transportation and does not guarantee a specific temperature range.
  • UN3373 / Category B training is not yet published as complete. Contact TyVia before scheduling shipments that require it.
  • Documented chain-of-custody procedures are being standardized; discuss custody documentation requirements with us in advance.
