The Importance of Sample Processing for Clinical Trials
Cambridge Biomedical frequently works with clients on the optimum methodology for the collection of clinical samples. For many clinical trials this involves collection sites situated in different countries with varying levels of expertise and understanding of the correct processes to follow.
One of the critical areas we investigate when we develop an assay for a client, is the sample collection process and particularly the stability of the sample. For example, assays may involve the collection of PBMC’s, if these are not processed, correctly, within 24 hours of collection then the resulting data obtained from the assay can be seriously affected.
We identified this issue several years ago and introduced a video service for our clients. These videos are specifically tailored to the study requirements and detail the complete process,from venipuncture through to sample shipment.
The result of using these training videos has been a resounding success and we have seen a dramatic decrease in the quality of the resulting data.
If you would like to learn more about how Cambridge Biomedical can help with your sample collection process and bioanalytical analysis please visit our website and we will be delighted to assist.
