Central Lab Testing Service for Clinical Trials
Our laboratory services are provided at all stages of clinical development, i.e. from phase I to phase IV studies. A dedicated project coordinator studies the requirements specific to a trial, designs lab kits, labels, and sample collection tubes along with pre-approved shipping labels and documents and ships them in visit wise shipping containers. Once the samples are received we report within a specified turnaround time. The site as well as the sponsors can peruse results on the internet using password-enabled web access. As a standby measure we also send the generated report by fax and email.
We offer lab services to suit our sponsor's needs. We offer project management services which include test design & statistical validity, regulatory consultation, import of kits, reagents, investigator briefing, providing central lab testing service and archival. We deploy contemporary 21 CFR part 11 guidelines compliant with LIMS-STARLIMS functioning on an Oracle database. A validated LIMS system facilitates electronic sample logging and tracking as well as logistic supplies.

Testing for Global Studies
We are part of global laboratory networks with compatible labs in Europe, USA and Australia. Our alliance with the leading labs in the above region would benefit the sponsor in the form of faster turnaround time for reporting, reduced cost of sample shipment (logistics) as the samples can be handled locally, easy regulatory clearance, reduced time for data clarification, etc.
We have conducted inter-laboratory comparisons with LKF (www.lkf-kiel.de) and Interlab network (www.interlab.de), which allows testing inside USA (Spectra Clinical Research) and inside Australia. This has enhanced our access to EU and Australian territory.
We have managed over 25 clinical trials and over 130 PK/PD studies. The chart on the right shows clinical trial project allocation by region. |

Pharma Company Research Testing
We have a team of scientists and clinicians who can design tests to find answers to your special enquiry. Drug to drug reaction, efficacy in a genetic type, immunology, HLA matching and biomarkers are some areas where we can provide insight. Our biostatisticians can advice on sample size. For pharma and biotech clients we offer custom tailored studies using molecular and cellular sciences.
The Ecron Acunova Team Advantage
Located in the science and knowledge capital of India, we are in a unique eco-system that enables us to assure quality at an affordable cost and deliver accurate reports on time. In this endeavour we are able to serve the special needs of patients and meet the demands of clinical development for pharma and biopharma clients. |

Patient Testing Service
The lab offers patients advanced molecular and esoteric diagnostic services. We have a chain of customer care centres which are available for patients and doctors. The sample is collected from your site and shipped to our central reference lab at Bangalore in IATA approved boxes under optimum transport conditions. Samples are tested using state of the art equipment at like the Olympus for Biochemistry analysis and Beckman Coulter analyser for haematology. Temperature and humidity of our labs is controlled by round-the-clock monitoring. This environment ensures equipment functionality at its peak and delivers consistent performance day in, day out.
Our esoteric tests include genetic and molecular tests. We have PCR machines from Biorad as well as a real-time PCR from Artus. The lab offers Viral loads for HIV, HBV, HCV using real time PCR, genotyping HCV and HBV using sequencing and nested PCRs. Other tests offered include immuno-fluorescence assays. We also offer Cytogenetics and Fluorescent in Situ Hyridisation (FISH) assays through our collaborative partners.
We have an alliance with the Central laboratory of University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (www.umdnj.edu). |
