Statistical Methods in Clinical Trials

Safety transport boxes are increasingly used to ship laboratory specimens but there is little information on their capacity to maintain suitable transportation temperatures.Inner temperature was assessed using a commercially available transport box during an 8-h transportation period in the heat.Temperature stability was unsatisfactory during approximately 64% of the transportation time (i.e., from 125 to 450 min).Transport boxes might be unsuitable for shipping specimens over long periods.
