Kits Supplies and Services: Custom-designed kits built to the client specifications including instructions, collection devices, collection tubes, labels, and return shipping information; independent quality control review for each kit.

Supply Chain Management: Frontage takes supply chain security seriously, especially in this pandemic/post-pandemic environment. We have contracted multiple supply vendors and generally maintain a large and decentralized stock of commonly used lab and logistic supplies. The supply monitoring system allows us to real-time monitor our inventory.  We are also flexible in providing instructions, lab manuals, and supply lists for sites that could ‘build their own kits’ and we have experience supporting de-centralized clinical trials.

Digital Sample Tracking: Barcode generated directly from LIS system reducing clerical errors.
