Lab Testing

Clinical Trial Laboratory Services

We bring operational experience, scientific and technical expertise, and a range of innovative tools and ancillary services for sponsors and sites to deliver quality results. Central, bioanalytical, and specialty labs are located in key global regions.

Central Lab Services

Generating quality data starts with protocol- and visit-specific specimen collection kits that are accurately assembled and reach investigator sites on time. Global logistics experts monitor shipments to assure within stability delivery of specimens.

Consistent results are driven through automation and aligned technology and instrumentation platforms. Standardized processes and procedures are used across our global network of central labs for specialized testing and for high-volume safety testing.

Sponsors and investigator sites can access test results in near real time to support patient care using the accelerate Lab Sponsor Portal and the accelerate Lab Investigator Portal.

When studies have been completed, samples can be stored in a Fetero purpose-built biorepository. Storage for a broad range of specimen types is provided in secure, protected and monitored facilities. Stored sample inventory can be searched, requested and shipped for further testing needs.

Biomarker-driven drug development can also necessitate the ability to view data across protocols, combining data from multiple different sources. Global Specimen Solutions, a Fetero company, offers comprehensive specimen lifecycle management through informatics platform. This standalone service uniquely combines codified informed consent with specimen management to enable critical visibility from sample collection to destruction.
