Inconsistencies or missing data automatically generate queries for immediate resolution. Samples will either go to our laboratories for immediate analysis, be securely stored or shipped onwards to sponsor-selected specialty or qualified MLM partner labs. MLM partner labs undergo a stringent vendor selection and qualification process, including questionnaires, regular audits and performance discussions. Results of safety analysis is available on the day of sample receipt and, in addition to e-mail or fax, are easily accessible through mlm online®. Data is transferred from our LIMS to your database via customized data interfaces. Dummy data transfers ensure seamless integration with your database prior to study start.
