Almac Diagnostic Services Launches Sample Management Service to Streamline Biomarker Programmes for Clients

Craigavon, N.I., 31 July 2019 – Almac Diagnostic Services, a global stratified medicine company and member of the Almac Group, today announced the launch of its Sample Management Service. 

This latest support offering includes pathology review & digital pathology, sample receipt and accessioning, sample storage and downstream processing. The service provides clients with the reassurance that samples are being stored safely, with reliable up-to-date information about sample inventory, ultimately enabling ready access to samples upon request.

Almac Diagnostic Services has over 15 years’ experience in sample preparation, analysis and reporting and as part of the Sample Management Service, offers a dedicated point of contact throughout an entire project.  This, coupled with Almac’s unique LIMS barcode system, ensures sample traceability and full chain of custody, alongside bespoke data management reporting to suit client’s exact requirements.

A range of secure storage solutions are available at Almac Diagnostic Services’ facilities to suit individual study needs including ambient and cold storage which are temperature controlled, fully validated and HTA compliant, and monitored 24/7.

Whether clients are benefitting from Almac Diagnostic Services’ downstream sample processing services such as DNA/RNA extraction, DNA panel /RNA panel Next Generation Sequencing, Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) or if they require the analysis to be performed externally with another vendor, the new Sample Management Service helps coordinate these activities on the client’s behalf.

Dr Leeona Galligan, VP UK Operations, Almac Diagnostic Services, commented “The addition of this Sample Management Service to our growing portfolio of service offerings is further evidence of our commitment to provide a fully integrated laboratory service to our global biopharma client base.  We have established a dedicated team to deliver this offering which will ultimately help simplify and streamline the clinical trial process for our customers and I am delighted to launch this new service.”
