For many years, laboratory moving and transportation has posed a serious threat to lab reagents. The only method available for lab transportation used to be dry ice, causing scientists and biologists to typically lose 15-20 percent of their reagents because temperatures could not be maintained. Offering a solution to this problem, VIP Transport has been commended for building the LTV, or the Lab Transporter Vehicle. These vans are equipped with generators so that ultra lows, refrigerators, and freezers can be plugged in during transit, eliminating the need for dry ice during transport. With the LTV, VIP has transported labs that have included DNA libraries, human cells, and priceless butterfly collections. The LTV has been revolutionary for shipping medical equipment and scientific laboratories. Other services we offer include aerospace transportation.
