Every Apex service line runs on the same operational backbone: active cold-chain hardware, a temperature data logger on every run, and a signed chain-of-custody record at every hand-off. Pick the service line. The standard stays the same.
Passive cooling relies on a foam box and gel packs. Apex runs powered refrigeration with battery backup power for the cooler, designed to hold refrigerated specimens at 2 to 8°C (36 to 46°F), with a temperature data logger on every run. If the temperature is ever questioned, the record already exists. Room-temperature and frozen handling: ask us before booking.
Federally mandated workplace screening where collections follow 49 CFR Part 40 procedures, built to prevent fatal flaws, because a voided drug screen is worse than no screen at all. FAA and DOT urine collections and non-DOT programs tailored for private employers, with breath alcohol testing planned.
The clinic comes to you. Collections take place on-site at the depot, the job site, the office, anywhere in the service area, on your schedule. After-hours call-outs by arrangement. Regulated collections are performed by a collector who has completed Part 40 qualification, with those records provided before the first visit. Collections follow 49 CFR Part 40 procedures, with every hand-off, seal check, and signature recorded on a chain-of-custody form.
California rewrote the rules on workplace cannabis testing, and legacy testing programs built before AB 2188 can now create legal exposure instead of protection. Apex supports GCs and subs with AB 2188-aligned programs: testing protocols, supervisor training, and documentation built for audit review, without slowing the job.
Program support now, with pool and consortium administration planned: written policy, supervisor training, and audit-ready records, with collections that follow 49 CFR Part 40 procedures. MRO review and FMCSA Clearinghouse support are planned, coordinated through a contracted MRO once agreements are signed. One partner for the whole program.
Different titles, same problem: something irreplaceable or federally regulated has to move, get tested, or stay documented, and someone is accountable if it fails.
Specimens between facilities with temperature logged. Cold-chain transport + scheduled routes, every leg documented.
Workplace programs built for audit review. DOT / Non-DOT testing + program support, with TPA administration planned.
Compliance at job-site speed. AB 2188 programs + on-site collection, no crews standing down.
49 CFR Part 40 without the clinic bottleneck. On-site DOT collection, with consortium membership planned.
A collection arm built on Part 40 procedures. On-site collection + signed chain of custody, by appointment or arrangement.
Describe the problem, and the principal will tell you which service line it needs: STAT run, standing route, or full program. One call sorts it.
