This includes data management and evaluation, biometrics and statistics, medical writing, and finally archiving, all in accordance with the relevant and applicable GCP, GMP and GLP regulations. We are part of the synlab Group, one of Europe s leading companies in laboratory diagnostics for human and veterinary medicine, and environmental analysis services. Operating as synlab clinical trial, our customers also benefit from the interdisciplinary dialogue between bio-medical scientists of all disciplines.

3 Central lab lab centre One of our clinical laboratories specialised in clinical trials is located in London, UK. Our lab centre is located in the German capital and complies with the highest of analytical demands Berlin is also the organisational headquarters of synlab clinical trial, where we coordinate all of the various laboratories with the customer facilities.

4 Pharmacokinetics pharmacogenetics The principle of dose and effect has been known since the days of Paracelsus. Two questions will influence the use of medications in the future: 1. How do substances change as a result of human metabolism? 2. What impact does a patient s genetic make-up have on the effect of medication? Any pharmaceutical research company will tell you that research is the best medicine. Increasing awareness about the kinetics of pharmaceutical products and the genetic make-up of patients treated using these products will progressively lead to more effective drugs with fewer sideeffects. Our synlab network is equipped with highly experienced staff, providing this specialist analytical expertise in areas such as human genetics, molecular biology and oncogenetics. Our aim is to make a significant contribution to healthcare and healthy aging. The SCT Competence Centres cover: Bioanalytics and Pharmacokinetic Analyses (LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, GC-MS, ELISA, RIA...) Cellular Biomarkers (real-time PCR, quantitative PCR, expression profiling, small RNA analytics, Flow Cytometry, Multiplex/Luminex, LTT, EliSPOT...) Pharmacogenetic Analyses (SNP-Analytics, High Resolution Melting, Biochip Analyses...)... and of course all clinical laboratory methods

5 Quality assurance Quality assurance is an essential part of managing clinical trials. We undergo regular audits not only internal, but also by pharmaceutical companies as well as regional and federal government authorities. Our unified Quality Management system ensures that all our internal processes including Data Management, laboratory work and so on operate on the basis of the same and very high quality standard. We are working according to GCP, GLP and GCLP standards. Assuring quality however means more than just compliance with statutory regulations: we are responsible to our clients and our study participants. That s the decisive factor Accreditation standards: DIN EN ISO We have been accredited by DAkkS (Die Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH/The German Accreditation Body) UKAS United Kingdom Accreditation Service We participate in the quality assurance schemes of the following organisations: DGKL Deutsche Vereinte Gesellschaft für Klinische Chemie und Laboratoriumsmedizin (German association for clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine), Germany INSTAND Institut für Standardisierung und Dokumentation im medizinischen Laboratorium ev (Institute for standardisation and documentation in medical laboratories), Germany UK NEQAS, United Kingdom WEQAS, United Kingdom

6 People serving people We have scientists, medical researchers, doctors, engineers and highly qualified medical assistants to ensure a consistently high level of analytical quality in our laboratories. But service means much more to us: For example, being there to answer our client s questions, preparing results from trials in such a way that they can be easily transferred into our clients databases, or simply relieving our partners of some of the responsibility involved in a clinical laboratory trial. And last but not least: Our solid base of medical and technical know-how and two decades of experience in the sector. Since 1993 SCT has contributed substantially to more than 1800 clinical trials.
