MLL’s new Sample Transport Service
December 18, 2024
An accurate and rapid diagnosis of leukemia and other hematological neoplasms is crucial for the best possible treatment of affected patients. In cooperation with our service partner Gold Key Services (GKS), we have established the nationwide sample transport service of the MLL Munich Leukemia Laboratory. Thanks to this service, samples can be delivered safely and reliably overnight to our laboratory in Munich. This also ensures that the test material arrives in optimal condition - for even more accurate diagnoses in the shortest possible time.
With the MLL's Sample Transport Service, we now offer our clients the opportunity to have their patient samples shipped to our laboratory quickly, safely and reliably overnight, free of charge. In this way, we want to ensure that the test material reaches us in the best possible condition and that the diagnoses made are even more accurate.
The new sample transport service was planned and implemented under the leadership of PD Dr. med. Gregor Hörmann, Member of the Extended Management of the MLL and Head of the Sample Reception Department. The roll-out phase of the project started in October 2024. Since then, a team of Customer Support, Secretariat and Sample Reception staff has been organizing the individual onboarding of our clients to the service.
In a personal phone call, the project team clarifies all the framework conditions, customization options and wishes that will enable the service to best suit the respective circumstances and needs. The data is then sent to our service provider, GKS, which finalizes the setup. Currently, more than 40 clients are actively using the courier service.
Easy and available nationwide
Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for our clients to start using the service. For this reason, we have deliberately selected the first clients from all over Germany. We will continue to roll out the service over the coming year, and more clients will be contacted and onboarded so that everyone can benefit from this service. If you are already interested, please let us know your contact person using the form on our website. You will also find detailed instructions on how to join the Sample Transport Service.
