In this webinar, learn from experts with experience in leading mobile blood draws and specimen collections for a wide range of trials and studies.
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 specimen collections once they arrive at the lab for testing.

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, to centrifuging and aliquoting protocols, to 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.
