Scientific Laboratory Expertise

The laboratory is led by a team of PhD scientists who are experts in laboratory methodologies and assay development. Our PhDs engage with clients early in the study set up process.  They consult on the study design, laboratory methods, biomarker selection, and technology transfers.

Every Medpace Medical Technologist is certified by the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP or CLS) in the US (or equivalent for the staff at Medpace Laboratories locations outside the US).  All of our laboratory personnel have extensive experience in every aspect of central laboratory operations from processing samples, performing analysis, and reporting study data accurately and efficiently.

Our capabilities include an extensive list of instrumentation and methodology including flow cytometry, molecular sequencing, histology, HPLC, coagulation, and immunoassays, in addition to safety testing for chemistry, hematology, urinalysis, serology, and drugs of abuse testing.

Analytic Control

Analytical quality is continuously monitored via extensive participation in internal and external quality control (QC) programs. Global analytical integrity and combinable data are maintained utilizing identical methodologies, reagents, calibrators, reference ranges, consistent control programs, and strict compliance to regulatory guidelines in all Medpace Laboratories.

Medpace Central Laboratories Analytic Advantages:

  • Wholly owned, custom built laboratories allow for standard, harmonized instrumentation and methods at all Medpace Laboratories
  • Extensive method validations (with industry leading timelines) set up according to CLSI guidelines
  • Careful selection of calibration standards to ensure long-term consistency
  • CDC-certified in-house customized and prepared serum pools for calibration and quality control of lipid testing
  • In-house prepared QC pools for many analytes, ensuring long term stability, consistency, and ability to monitor performance of assays across multiple lots of manufactured QC
  • Relevant and stringent Internal Quality Control (IQC) programs
  • Extensive External Quality Control programs (CAP, CDC, NGSP, NIST, and IBBL)
  • Inter-laboratory Comparison Program with weekly analysis of samples and monitoring of results
  • Extensive system of in-process delta checks and recheck criteria for nearly every lab parameter

Medpace Central Laboratories Accreditations

Featuring fully owned state-of-the-art instrumentation and assay protocols, every Medpace Central Laboratories location is fully accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP), all are independently certified, participate and meet CDC Part III lipid standardization, all are Level 1 NGSP for HbA1c and the USA lab is CLIA Certified.
