Advantages to Centralising Laboratory Services at hVIVO

Clinical field studies are a critical part of the drug development and approval process. They are conducted to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of a new drug. These studies require careful monitoring, attention to detail, significant logistics, and expertise in laboratory analysis.  Centralising laboratory services can provide many benefits for clinical field studies. In this article, we'll explore five of the most significant advantages of centralising laboratory services during a clinical field study.

1. Access to state-of-the-art equipment and technology:

Our hLab services provide our clients with access to the latest equipment and technology, which would be too costly to maintain in-house, while centralising the lab services ensures a consistent readout for multi-site studies. This technology can significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of the data collected during a clinical field study. By using the latest equipment, our clients can receive more consistent and accurate results, which can contribute greatly to the success of their study.

2. Expertise in laboratory analysis:

Centralised laboratory services often have a team of highly trained and experienced professionals who specialise in laboratory analysis. These professionals have the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct complex laboratory tests, interpret the results accurately and manage report large data sets. This expertise can be invaluable in ensuring that the data collected during a clinical field study is of high quality and relevant to the research being conducted.

3. Increased efficiency:

Centralising laboratory services can greatly increase the efficiency of a clinical field study by handling large sample sizes providing logistical and financial efficiencies. By outsourcing the laboratory tasks, clients can also free up resources and focus on other aspects of the study. This increased efficiency can result in a faster, more streamlined study that can be completed in a shorter amount of time.

4. Cost savings:

A cost saving is another positive to centralising laboratory services as it cuts the long-term costs of maintaining a laboratory in-house. This way, organisations can reduce their overhead costs. Additionally, centralising laboratory services allows organisations to pay only for the focused services they need, rather than having to invest in expensive equipment and technology. Larger batch sizes performed at a centralised facility also provide additional cost savings through efficient assay delivery.

5. Scalability:

Organisations can easily increase or decrease the services they receive based on the needs of their study. This scalability allows organisations to adjust their laboratory services as their study progresses, ensuring that they have the resources they need to achieve their goals.

In conclusion, there are multiple benefits to centralising laboratory services during a clinical field study including access to state-of-the-art equipment and technology, expertise in laboratory analysis, increased efficiency, cost savings, and scalability. By taking advantage of these benefits at hVIVO, companies can improve both the quality and success of their clinical field studies.
