What this service covers

Available across Whatcom County, 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

  • Temperature-controlled transportation is available when appropriate and agreed upon for the shipment; a specific validated temperature range is not guaranteed unless confirmed in advance.
  • TyVia has training relating to UN3373 Category B transportation requirements. Transportation of properly packaged UN3373 Category B materials may be available subject to shipment requirements — this is not certification to carry every regulated material.
  • Standard chain-of-custody documentation is included where applicable. Enhanced or customer-specific custody documentation is quoted separately.

Have a requirement not listed here? Call (360) 383-5945 and we will tell you plainly whether we can support it.
