Good Clinical Laboratory Practice (GCLP)

Reliable, high-quality laboratory data is pivotal to the success of clinical trials.

For more than 30 years,  Eurofins has provided high quality, accurate results

to evaluate the effects of drug candidates across all major therapeutic areas.

Eurofins’ end-to-end laboratory testing solutions provides an array of services to ensure that any clinical trial sample is collected, transported, managed, analysed, reported and stored to meet the objectives and purpose of each study.

Our state-of-the-art bioanalytical services support clinical trials run at our own  Clinical Trial  Unit (CTU) or at specialized medical centres and hospitals

 

Full scope of laboratory services embedded within one company

Eurofins combines scientific and laboratory expertise in safety, efficacy, biomarkers, bacteriology, virology, mycology, parasitology, anatomical pathology and genomics to support your clinical trials, which results in cost optimisation of your budget and increased specimen integrity
