Cold Chain Logistics Services in Minneapolis

A vial of biologics leaving a lab near the University of Minnesota carries more than a sample. It carries months of research, a patient timeline, and a temperature window that cannot slip. Mercury has protected shipments like these since 1984, and we bring that same care to cold chain logistics in Minneapolis. From the medical device corridor to the labs along the Mississippi, our team treats every refrigerated, frozen, and cryogenic shipment as if the outcome depends on it, because it usually does. We pick up across the city, hold the temperature steady from origin to destination, and watch each shipment in real time so problems get solved before they reach you. Minneapolis runs on precision science, and your logistics partner should match that standard. Mercury keeps your cold chain intact, your paperwork clean, and your team focused on the work that matters.

Common Questions About Cold Chain Logistics

What does it cost, and can you share pricing?

Most customers pay the same or less than before. For courier, NFO, cold chain, and freight we offer highly competitive rates, and for parcel we pass along discounts earned through strong carrier partnerships and high volume. Those savings also fund proactive tracking and dedicated support. Contact us and our team will gladly share pricing.

Do I lose control by using Mercury for parcel shipping?

You gain control. Our technology, integrations, and decades of experience give you real-time visibility and hands-on management of every shipment. We track packages closely, watching not only where they were last scanned but where they should be, and we keep you posted throughout. Customers value knowing we monitor shipments so they do not have to.

Do you cover all regions, or specialize in certain areas?

We are a global shipping company and can pick up or deliver anywhere in the world, at any size or temperature. Some providers focus on a single region, but because we partner with all major airlines, we deliver consistent service worldwide rather than limiting ourselves to one footprint.

Do you offer packaging, dry ice, or phase change materials?

Yes. We provide packaging solutions, including dry ice and phase change materials. Our couriers can bring these supplies along when collecting your shipment, or we can ship them to your location ahead of time so everything is ready when you need it.

What shipments does Mercury handle for healthcare companies?

We manage the full span of healthcare and life sciences shipments: pharmaceuticals, clinical trial materials, specimens and diagnostics, biologics, medical devices, and any temperature-sensitive product needing refrigerated, frozen, or cryogenic handling. From an urgent same-day run to a cold chain delivery or routine freight, we handle it with the documentation and chain of custody your work requires.

How does Mercury keep shipments safe in transit?

Our team monitors every shipment proactively from pickup through delivery, checking not just the last scan but whether each package sits where it should at every stage. For temperature-sensitive freight we add cold chain and temperature monitoring, catch potential delays early, and step in to keep things moving. Updates reach you along the way, so the status is always clear.
