What makes us different?

Our customer focus which is guided by:

  • Scientific collaboration – our scientific experts are committed to have in-depth discussions with your scientists.
  • Flexibility and customization – we understand that one size does not fit all. We go the extra mile and are proud to deliver customizable solutions and personable service to you.
  • Global quality management system – our quality management system ensures consistency, transparency, and standardization globally.
  • Project management and operational delivery – dedicated project management teams, supported with logistics and a laser operational focus, enables us to deliver on your project.

From assay development & validation to delivery of protocol endpoints we can advise early on how to approach the selection and set up of your global central laboratory. Often sponsors leave laboratory considerations until later in their outsourcing process. Our experience shows that early engagement leads to rapid study start up, and better insights to shape protocol development enhancing your data endpoints.
