Built for Life-Science Logistics

Pathcore Logistics is a specialized life-science and medical courier based in Rockville, Maryland. We focus on time-critical, temperature-sensitive, and high-value shipments that cannot be treated like general freight. From clinical specimens and trial materials to biologics and medical supplies, our job is simple: move what matters most, safely and on time.

Who We Are

Pathcore Logistics operates and was created with a clear purpose – to give life-science organizations a logistics partner that understands their world, not just their addresses.

We are not a mass-market delivery service. We are a focused, high-touch operation serving:

  • Clinical trial sponsors and CROs
  • Central labs and diagnostic networks
  • Hospitals and health systems
  • Specialty pharma, biotech, and medical manufacturers
  • Public health and government programs

Our team blends logistics experience with a deep appreciation for the stakes involved in healthcare and research. When a shipment is tied to a patient, a protocol, or a time-sensitive decision, “good enough” is not an option.

What We Do

Pathcore provides tailored courier and logistics solutions for life-science and medical customers, including:

  • Time-critical and same-day delivery for clinical and medical shipments
  • Scheduled and routed service between key facilities and hubs
  • Movement of clinical trial materials, lab specimens, and diagnostic samples
  • Handling of biologics, medical supplies, and select temperature-sensitive products
  • Dedicated routes and project-based deployments built around customer demand

We currently operate with a core focus on the Mid-Atlantic and surrounding regions, with regular lanes through:

  • Mid-Atlantic & Northeast: MA, NY, NJ, DE, PA, MD, VA
  • Southeast & Central: NC, TN, KY
  • Midwest & Central Corridor: OH, IN, IL, MO, KS

As customer needs grow, we have the flexibility to stand up additional routes and capacity in new markets.

How We Operate

Pathcore uses a vetted independent contractor network combined with centralized dispatch and clear operating standards to deliver consistent service.

Key elements of our operating model include:

  • 24/7 dispatch availability for time-critical movements
  • Documented chain-of-custody for sensitive and regulated shipments
  • Driver expectations and training focused on professionalism in clinical environments
  • Routing and planning aligned with cut-off times, processing windows, and site schedules
  • Communication first mindset, keeping customers informed when conditions change

We design our processes to align with industry best practices for handling clinical, pharmaceutical, and medical materials, with attention to regulatory expectations and quality requirements.

Our Values:

The way we operate is guided by a few simple principles:

  • Integrity – Do what we say we will do, and be transparent when conditions change.
  • Reliability – Build routes and processes that customers can plan around.
  • Accountability – Treat every shipment as if a patient or critical decision depends on it.
  • Communication – Keep customers informed before, during, and after each move.
  • Continuous improvement – Learn from each lane, project, and partnership to improve the next one.

These values shape how we work with customers, contractors, and partners every day.

Who We Serve

Pathcore is built for organizations that:

  • Move clinical, diagnostic, or pharmaceutical materials that cannot be handled like general freight
  • Need consistent service across the Mid-Atlantic with reach into surrounding regions
  • Value documented handling, clear communication, and a partner mindset rather than a transactional courier

Whether you are coordinating a trial, running a lab, operating a health system, or managing a specialized logistics network, we’re here to keep your materials moving with care and precision.

Looking Ahead

Pathcore Logistics is actively expanding its footprint around key life-science and clinical hubs across the United States. As we grow, our focus stays the same:

  • Stay specialized in life-science and medical logistics
  • Maintain high-touch service and responsive communication
  • Build routes and capacity driven by real customer needs, not just geography

Our growth is measured not just in miles or states served, but in the trust we earn from customers who depend on us when it matters most.
