Step sequence
Accept package, verify identity, check shipper condition, transfer to qualified storage, file documents, quarantine until checklist clears, then release to inventory.
Record deviations immediately; speed does not override identity checks.
Training and quick reference
Only trained staff should receive cryopreserved biologics. Post a quick-reference near the freezer.
Untrained front-desk workarounds are a common failure mode.
Courier coordination
Align courier windows with staff availability. Unattended dry-ice packages are a top failure mode.
Define who pays for reships after missed delivery before the first order.
