Our Central Lab Services
We offer comprehensive lab services to help our partners overcome the complexities of clinical trial testing. Our core service offerings include:
From developing user-friendly lab manuals to designing a custom database and data transfer plan, our setup services encompass all laboratory aspects of study preparation. Additionally, a dedicated project manager will facilitate communications between various departments throughout your study and be your single point of contact.
Using our proprietary MLM Kit Manager software, we’ll design custom sample kits tailored to your protocol. Each kit includes pre-labeled tubes with trackable barcodes and clear collection instructions, all protected within an MLM Safeguard Box® and shipped from our Memphis, North America, or Mönchengladbach, Germany, location.
We offer over 1500 sample testing parameters, including the FDA-cleared Lumipulse® G pTau 217/β-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma Ratio in-vitro diagnostic test. Our scientists can develop, validate and perform custom assays based on your protocol, timeline and cost needs. We perform validation with a fit-for-purpose approach, which may include adherence to EMA and FDA guidelines for bioanalytical method validation.
We provide data transfers at your preferred interval, whether in real time, at regular intervals or at the trial’s end. All data transfers are encrypted and compliant with 21 CFR Part 11. We can also customize a data interface to meet your specific regulatory requirements, including SDTM and CDISC standards.
Rely on us for comprehensive sample management. Our chain of custody procedure includes audit trail tracking, scalable biostorage capabilities, reliable global logistics and 24-hour temperature monitoring, ensuring the traceability and integrity of your samples.
