This is already mandated in the food and drug industries and is headed this way, says the company, in the next 24 months.
Duramark will continue to develop new products and services for the laboratory/hospital industry.
These include specimen tracking capabilities using RFID, temperature tracking technology, certified courier training and package certification.
