Specimen Management
Protecting and Transporting Biospecimens for Analytical Testing
Safeguarding your patient specimens – and ensuring their timely analysis – is at the heart of providing accurate, consistent test results and on-time performance. Quintiles’ Central Labs takes a comprehensive approach to biospecimen handling with proven processes to take the worry out of sample collection and processing. Through our global network, we share sponsor requirements, best practices and study-specific requirements with all participating regional laboratories.
Quintiles is actively engaged in organizations promoting research and best practices in biospecimen science such as the International Society for Biological and Environmental Repositories, the NCI Office of Biorepositories and Biospecimen Research and the Biospecimen Research Network. We apply the latest knowledge and our experience to our global SOPs to reduce pre-analytic variability. It’s this kind of dedication and expertise that gives you the assurance your specimens will be handled with care.
