Mobile specimen collection for Pharma, CRO, and Biotech
Protocol-aligned mobile collections for decentralized and multi-site studies. Certified, employed technicians and a central operations team to coordinate scheduling, execution, and delivery.
Specimen collection is performed by certified, employed technicians.
Supporting research with professional mobile collections
Clinical research succeeds when visits happen on time and specimens arrive as required. DASHealth Dx supports clinical and research workflows with reliable mobile specimen collection, consistent execution, and clear communication from scheduling through delivery.
The Impact:
- Accelerate patient recruitment and remove barriers that slow recruitment
- Enable decentralized clinical trial (DCT) and hybrid study designs
- Reduce site activation time and geographic limitations
- Enhance patient retention through convenient home-based collection
- Improve data quality through standardized, protocol-driven collection methods
- Expand research capacity with mobile scalability based on study needs
- Reduce operational overhead compared to fully site-dependent workflows
Whether you need ongoing support for a multi-year study or short-term staffing for a Phase I safety trial, we deliver solutions that reduce time to market and lower your operational costs.
Specimen Collection Designed for Biotech Research
We offer comprehensive mobile specimen services to support every phase of your research or product development cycle. Our certified phlebotomists can collect a wide variety of samples including:
- Urine
- Stool
- Hair and nail samples
- Dried blood spots
Specimen types supported vary by protocol, supplies provided, and handling requirements. We confirm feasibility during onboarding.
Each collection is performed in accordance with your protocol and packaged for proper transport to your lab or designated testing site. If you're using lab kits from a partner or third-party lab, we follow the exact handling and shipping requirements to ensure compliance and chain of custody.
Our central operations team handles scheduling, logistics, and coordination, so your internal teams don't have to manage multiple vendors or draw site inconsistencies.
Accelerate Patient Recruitment with Decentralized Clinical Trials
One of the biggest barriers to successful clinical trials is patient recruitment and retention. Traditional site-based models require participants to travel repeatedly to clinical sites, creating a burden that leads to high dropout rates and limited geographic diversity in trial populations.
DASHealth Dx mobile phlebotomy service enables true decentralized clinical trial (DCT) capabilities. By bringing specimen collection directly to patients' homes, you can:
- Expand your recruitment pool beyond major metro areas with research sites
- Increase enrollment rates by removing travel barriers for participants
- Improve patient retention by reducing the burden of repeated site visits
- Support hybrid trial models that combine site visits with home-based collection
- Reach underserved populations in rural and remote areas
- Support decentralized and hybrid study designs when protocol allows
This patient-centric approach doesn't just improve the participant experience; it accelerates your timeline to key milestones and regulatory submissions.
Our mobile service model allows you to reach more participants, expand access in underserved areas, and boost trial completion rates by removing the logistical friction that causes study delays.
Supporting IRB-Approved Trials and FDA-Required Studies
Whether you're collecting specimens for biomarker validation, genetic analysis, pharmacokinetic studies, or routine safety labs, we staff your project with professionals who know how to work within research protocols.
We have experience supporting:
✓ Clinical trials with IRB oversight and regulatory compliance
✓ FDA pre-market and post-market studies
✓ Research involving HIPAA-sensitive data and patient privacy protections
✓ Protocols requiring serial or multi-timepoint sample collection
✓ Multi-site and multi-geography studies
✓ CRO partnerships and sponsor-directed trials
✓ Transport logistics to CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited, or specialty research labs
✓ Principal investigator coordination and site support
Let our experienced operations team help you scale your study without compromising on quality, protocol adherence, or regulatory compliance.
Built for Research Lab Workflows
Research labs need more than a routine draw. We support protocol requirements like timed collections, fasting instructions, barcoded labels, and study documentation. For dispersed participants, we coordinate in-home visits. For higher-volume visit days, we can staff on-site session coverage so your team does not have to juggle multiple vendors.
Built for Scalability and Speed
Our phlebotomists are W-2 employees, trained, certified, insured, and held to strict quality standards: no gig workers, no day labor, no inconsistency.
- Centralized scheduling and dispatch
- Protocol onboarding and training
- Biosafety-ready workflows and PPE aligned to protocol requirements for sensitive populations and studies with elevated precautions when specified
- Lab kit management and inventory
- Delivery, courier, and shipping coordination
- Technician training, supervision, and quality assurance
- Site activation support for multi-location studies
- Real-time reporting and study progress tracking
Unlike contractors or gig-based platforms, our phlebotomists are W-2 employees trained to work in professional research environments with strict quality and compliance standards. This ensures consistency, reliability, and adherence to protocol across every draw in every location.
Our Commitment to Biotech Clients
We minimize exposure risk for both participants and research staff while maintaining continuity of critical research operations. Our flexible protocols adapt to evolving biosafety requirements and regulatory guidance.
Our mission is to make specimen collection seamless so you can focus on innovation, not logistics.
We partner with biotech companies, pharmaceutical firms, CROs, and research institutions to deliver:
- Reliable, protocol-compliant specimen collection
- Scalable infrastructure for studies of any size
- Patient-centric service that improves recruitment and retention
- Transparent communication and project coordination
- Flexibility to adapt as study protocols evolve
