PACE understands the importance and value of how to store biological materials. We specialize in the storage of all types of biological pharmaceutical materials at our state-of-the-art cGMP compliant sample management facilities. The same customer-focused service, which allows industry-leading control and access to critical samples, is available whether you are storing 3 or 30,000,000 samples.

PACE provides comprehensive clinical trials and research material storage solutions. The same cGMP processes and validated equipment are used to provide maximum security and reliability to our clients’ invaluable samples. An electronic inventory system provides unprecedented access and control of customer inventory and allows for simple tools to manage, test results, shipments, and sample destruction in and out of the facility.

PACE Air Freight offers over 111,000 square feet of refrigerated warehouse facilities, for every cold chain solution. We specialize in time and temperature-sensitive cargo and climate-controlled in-transit storage. As the demands on the Pharmaceutical and Bio-Science industries have grown, so have PACE Air Freight’s technology and resources for meeting the demand. Storing and transporting temperature-sensitive materials, under specified thermal conditions, throughout the entire logistics cycle is critical. That is why PACE Air Freight maintains stringent temperature constraints and we never purge our client’s temperature logs. Whether you need refrigerated transport, cold storage warehouse facilities or any services that help regulate the thermal demands of your cargo, PACE Air Freight has the capacity to meet your needs.

Different products require specific temperature, humidity, and lighting conditions. As pharmaceutical companies develop and introduce more biologically based products there is a growing demand for reliable, efficient, and cost-effective temperature-controlled transportation during its global distribution. Chain-of-custody requirements and volume demands increase substantially, so scalability is key—whether managing deliveries across a country or around the world.

Under the Certified Cargo Screening Program, TSA has certified PACE AIR FREIGHT as a cargo screening facility to screen cargo prior to providing it to airlines for shipment on flights. With this program offered at PACE we are able to cut down on wait times at the airport by scanning your cargo on site and delivering directly to the airline.

Every Airport Is Different.

If your destination is within the airport, we apply 3PL operating standards and procedures to implement a customized process to increase efficiency, reduce expenses and enhance security. We provide support to concessionaires, airport authorities, the TSA, airlines and other facility tenants to ensure your packages arrive safely.

We work closely with concessionaire vendors to establish dependable and flexible arrival schedules and generate delivery schedules to plan staffing requirements that avoid wasting resources. However, the expedited delivery of emergency receipt and ready response to unexpected circumstances is always available.

We apply GDP operating standards.
