Somerset, New Jersey - April 2, 2003 With an increased focus towards security, especially within the pharmaceutical community, companies have been expressing concerns and enhancing security measures focusing on fulfillment processes within their distribution facilities. Although such security measures seem to be a new focus for many, for Pharmagistics this commitment has been a way of life!

In addition to storing and distributing Clinical Trial Materials (CTMs), Over the Counter (OTC) products and Prescription (Rx) pharmaceutical products, Pharmagistics is registered and has been approved by the DEA to store and distribute Schedule III, IIIN, IV & V Controlled Substances. Recent security reviews by the DEA, insurance industry professionals, and Pharmaceutical clients confirm that Pharmagistics strict security measures and extensive Standard Operating Procedures not only meet but exceed industry standards.

The security measures and high security expectations are nothing new for Pharmagistics. We are continuously striving to provide the strictest level of security within our facility as part of our commitment to exceptional customer service," says Alan Pritchet, the companys Director of Quality Assurance. We are very proud of not only the technical elements of our security system, but of our staff and their training as well, both of which are key elements of a good security program," Pritchet adds.

Pharmagistics continuously monitors and enhances their systems, policies and procedures related to maintaining their strict 24x7 security measures. Pharmagistics DEA-approved alarm system utilizes individually zoned perimeter and internal dual infrared motion detectors, while round-the-clock videos are recorded and centrally monitored by cameras placed strategically throughout the facility.

The company-wide card access system allows for multiple levels of access that are specific to individual job function and responsibility. Each employee handling Pharmaceutical product is trained and certified on cGMPs and the PDMA on a yearly basis. The comprehensive security program also includes employee background checks and drug testing.

This comprehensive program coupled with a dedicated, well-trained staff, robust Standard Operating Procedures and organizational commitment to quality and cGMP compliance ensures that Pharmagistics clients have a partner they can count on when it comes to receiving continuous security as a standard part of every service offering.
