Glasgow, UK – Sampled, a fully integrated analytical laboratory and biorepository, has successfully renewed and extended its Manufacturing and Import Authorisation of Investigational Medicinal Products (MIA (IMP)) license across all 3 UK sites and continues to be certified by the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Clinical trials are an increasingly global endeavor. Collaborations between pharmaceutical companies, academic bodies, healthcare institutions, CROs, and CDMOs require a robust, highly regulated infrastructure for storing and distributing IMPs to international sites. Such infrastructure must ensure the safety and security of sensitive materials, achieve timely delivery, and maintain adaptive regulatory compliance.
Companies must partner with a MIA (IMP) licensed provider to meet these demands for import into the UK. This accreditation enables the storage and distribution of IMPs and facilitates the exchange of IMPs with other licensed entities through a Qualified Person. Finding an MHRA-certified partner who meets the highest standards of trust and quality is essential. Choosing the wrong partner can put clinical trials at risk through diminished IMP quality and regulatory non-compliance.
The recent MIA (IMP) license renewal and MHRA certification reinforce Sampled as a trusted, world-class partner for the storage and transport of IMPs. Our scalable storage and distribution solutions are built to support the evolving needs of organizations running global clinical trials, offering a safe, cost-effective, and fully compliant way to store and ship investigational materials through the UK.
“Sampled’s MHRA certification under our renewed MIA (IMP) license cements our global reputation for maintaining the highest standards of quality and control in handling clinical trial materials. On the back of our recent WDA licensing, this accreditation reinforces Sampled as a safe pair of hands for regulated storage and distribution at any scale, vindicating the trust leading pharmaceutical companies place in our capabilities.”
