Local Laboratory ServicesSM: Shipping Data, Not Samples
Based in Zeist, Netherlands, the Covance Local Laboratory Services improves the collection and reporting of laboratory data within oncology and critical care studies and studies conducted in remote regions of the world. Covance Local Laboratory Services combines the high-quality data collection and reporting benefits of a central laboratory with the speed of specimen processing and report turn-around time of a local laboratory.
Covance Local Laboratory Services ships laboratory data, not samples, from local or regional laboratories around the world. This enhances the ability for data combinability by using a laboratory calibration process for each laboratory assay performed. In addition, the laboratory data are collected into a single, global database where optional near real-time access is available to study sponsors through LabLink.
