LABORATORIES Northwest and Clinical Trials

LABORATORIES Northwest is a nationally accredited, full service laboratory organization providing services to the medical communities of western Washington. We provide professionally-directed diagnostic testing services for research activities within clinical trial facilities, hospitals, clinics and businesses. We offer the convenience of local service with an extensive array of routine and esoteric testing.

We have offered professional, responsive services to Phase I-IV Clinical Research clients since 1995.  At the heart of our service is our commitment to full-service management of your laboratory data. Our validated systems can be individualized to meet the unique needs of each study.  The Sunquest Laboratory Information System (LIS) is electronically interfaced with our testing equipment for accurate data transmission.  Data is then extracted from the LIS and provided to sponsors according to their specific Electronic Data Specifications. Our validated systems provide for accuracy, speed, flexibility and quality in the data that we generate.

LABORATORIES Northwest delivers rapid response reference lab services and testing combined with information management to support clinical research in phases I-IV, including screening, safety and PD markers.
