Specialized staff

Dedicated business processes

Your IT needs are multidimensional and can vary by study. Our IT experts can develop custom interfaces and data transfer solutions that fit your data integration needs. We can support customizable data transfers, or integrate more fully for bidirectional information exchange providing near real-time access to laboratory logistics and testing data. IQVIA Laboratories can also provide “virtual lab” services, embedding within your CTMS and trial delivery processes including custom kit builds. These IT solutions ensure high-quality delivery of your project and greater transparency for all parties.

Tailored solutions

IQVIA Laboratories has a comprehensive assay menu that includes safety and esoteric testing, small and large molecule bioanalytical, biomarker, companion diagnostics, anatomic pathology, molecular pathology, flow cytometry, and genomic services. With wide-ranging in-house capabilities we minimize the need for additional outsourcing and the associated potential risks to quality and transparency. However, if additional third-party labs are required by the sponsor, we can manage these labs through our Laboratory Network Solutions (LNS) offering, providing you simplified study data and improved contracting.

Delivery excellence

We save our customers time and costs by providing high-quality laboratory services throughout the delivery of your project. We use proactive quality measures and strict quality standards, metrics-driven controls, proven logistics tools, and sample management and supply chain solutions to ensure delivery excellence for your study. With one of the industry’s largest footprints we can support your clinical study and help you meet the unique testing and logistical requirements across the globe.

Shaping outcomes

IQVIA Laboratories brings together over 30 years of experience, expertise and technologies to help our customers turn clear insights into confident decisions. At IQVIA Laboratories we have a deep bench of therapeutic and technical experts who can supplement your team to develop innovative solutions for sponsors across the development continuum. By engaging our scientific specialists early in the study design process, we can contribute to feasibility assessments as well as protocol development by including specific laboratory considerations. This level of engagement can help mitigate potential study risks and help save time and money.
