We provide assay development, assay transfer, and validation services, as well as global sample processing services for your study’s PBMC isolation and DNA/RNA extraction needs. Our global laboratory network gives you access to more points of service than any other central lab – reducing the travel distance of your samples from your investigator sites driving lower cost and operational efficiencies plus enhanced integrity for your sample. Our laboratory capabilities include Clinical Pathology, Biomarker Analysis, Pharmacogenomics, Anatomic Pathology, Molecular Diagnostics, Analytical Chemistry, Flow Cytometry, and Sample Processing.
Tracking
Tracking
Your samples represent the core of your clinical research. If you’ve ever wondered where your samples are or even when you’ll see your data, then you will appreciate the value of LabConnect’s sample tracking tool – SampleGISTICS™. This tool provides real-time sample tracking and dedicated tracking personnel for your next study.
SampleGISTICS™ provides logistical transparency for each individual sample— easily available right on your dashboard. Real-time tracking follows each specimen through its entire life cycle, from collection through logistics to receipt at any laboratory or storage location in the world.
Today’s complex biomarker and specialized testing with strict timelines and sample maintenance requirements leaves little room for error. Improved sample tracking reduces the time from collection to analysis and increases the security and integrity of your specimen throughout its lifespan. Efficient, advanced virtual accessioning technology and rapid query resolution also save you time and money.

Our Mission. In Action.
Our client required a customized specimen identification label format to integrate with their own laboratory information systems. LabConnect developed and executed a solution to produce the required custom labels and flexibly integrated with the client’s laboratory information systems, resulting in timely advancement of the project.
Our client’s database lock deadline was at risk when a missing critical sample was found by their investigator site in their freezer. Over a weekend, LabConnect’s nimble team quickly arranged a specialized international logistics solution to meet the critical Monday deadline and keep the medicine development timeline on track.
Our client was concerned when collection kit expenses were higher than anticipated. Our team of experts collaborated with our client to devise a strategy for lab data collection and kits that reduced the project cost, resulting in a long-standing client partnership that has led to other awarded studies.
Our client was new to their company and did not have experience with clinical trials nor understand central laboratories. Our team of technical experts helped the client quickly ramp up their knowledge of industry terms, processes, and documents resulting in a trusted partnership and a drug development project on track for success.
When working with global clients where there are language differences, there can be communication challenges that often impact timelines when important information is lost in translation. LabConnect works closely and collaboratively with our client partners to overcome any language hurdles and ensure effective communication to keep a clinical trial moving forward.
A client partner required fast-track project launch. Our team was able to complete the setup in record time as well as deliver the kits sooner than our client expected. This accelerated the overall project timeline and helped the client successfully achieve their drug development milestones.
