In this free webinar, learn about the importance of maintaining
quality in blood, urine and other specimen collections in
decentralized trials and studies. Attendees will be
able to identify important quality considerations — from collection
and processing protocols to temperature requirements for transport
— for the development of a mobile collections program for blood
draws or other specimen collections. The featured speakers will
also explore additional assessments and measurements, such as
interviews and biometrics, which may be integrated with mobile
collection and their quality considerations.
TORONTO, June 27,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In this webinar,
learn from experts with experience in leading mobile blood draws
and specimen collections for a wide range of trials and
studies.
Collecting specimens in a participant's
home and transporting specimens to a laboratory present
complexities that should be integrated into an overall quality
program.
Pharmaceutical, life sciences, research and healthcare
organizations that need laboratory testing to support studies and
trials are likely to instinctively consider the importance of
quality programs for blood, urine and other specimens once they
arrive at the lab for testing.
What may be less common to consider — but plays a critical role
in overall quality — is the protocol to ensure quality during each
step of the process throughout specimen collection, processing,
handling and transport that takes place prior to the specimen
arriving at the lab.
The considerations grow for decentralized trials
and studies where the collection of samples likely will not occur
at clinics or hospitals. In fact, blood draws and specimen
collection in a decentralized model often occur in the
most convenient location possible for participants: their home.
The convenience offered by decentralized trials can
boost accessibility and support adherence and retention. However,
collecting specimens in a participant's home and transporting
specimens to a laboratory present complexities that should be
integrated into an overall quality program.
In this webinar, the speakers will focus on topics such as
considerations around the sample type, centrifuging and aliquoting
protocols, and maintaining specimens at the appropriate temperature
(refrigerated, frozen or ambient). In fact, a range of quality
considerations at each step in the collection process play an
important role in the overall quality management. If additional
assessments, such as a personal interview or biometric
measurements, will be conducted along with the blood draw or other
specimen collection, the quality considerations expand.
Register for this webinar today to learn practical strategies to
ensure quality management for sample collection, which is central
to the laboratory testing requirements for
decentralized clinical trials.
