The PhD Scientists Behind Your Clinical Trial Bioanalysis

20+ Years In Bioanalysis
700+ Sponsor Studies
500+ Custom Assays
200+ Investigational Drugs

One Watson LIMS Record From Protocol Sign-Off To Database Lock

Opened in 2003 as a clinical bioanalysis lab, and still that today. A single draw, aliquoted in-house, feeds every endpoint in your study with no second courier.

Method Development, Validation And Transfer

  • GCLP validation to your protocol and its context of use, on LC-MS/MS or ligand binding
  • Methods transferred in from your incumbent laboratory, cross-validated on our instruments

Clinical Sample Collection Kits And Logistics

  • Protocol specific kits built, labeled and shipped to every site, resupplied on request
  • Ambient, refrigerated and frozen lanes with chain of custody from draw through receipt

Clinical PK, Cohort By Cohort, Every Modality

  • Small molecule and biologic PK by LC-MS/MS, MSD and ELISA, in plasma, urine and CSF alike
  • SAD and MAD cohorts read out as they close, dose decisions on your calendar, not our queue

Immunogenicity, Screening Through NAb Titer

  • Tiered ADA per FDA guidance, screening, confirmatory and titer, drug tolerance built in
  • Cell-based or plate-based NAb formats qualified against the risk of your therapeutic class

Trial Enrollment Screening Under CLIA And CAP

  • Caffeine, cotinine and protocol-restricted substances by LC-MS, genotype by qPCR and ddPCR
  • Pre-existing anti-AAV serostatus and biomarker cut-offs, reported patient by patient

The Bioanalytical Arm Behind Clinical CROs

  • Subcontracted GCP bioanalysis and central lab capacity behind your bid, under your flag
  • No site management, monitoring or recruitment here, so we complete you, never compete

Where Trial Bioanalysis Goes Wrong, And The Gate That Stops It

Improvised site kits, custody breaks and late methods at first patient in each have a checkpoint, and batches turn around within 1 to 2 weeks.

  1. Kits Improvised At Sites

    Sites improvise draws and the study inherits it. Gate: protocol kits at every site before FPI

    Central Lab Services
  2. Custody Breaks In Transit

    Samples cross vendors unlogged. Gate: overnight courier, same-day Watson LIMS accession

  3. Method Not Ready At FPI

    Enrollment opens before validation finishes. Gate: the method proven before first patient in

    Method Validation
  4. The PBMC Window Missed

    Cells die between draw and freezer. Gate: isolation in 8 to 24 hours, viability recorded

    PBMC Services
  5. Data Trails The Cohorts

    Escalation waits on numbers. Gate: endpoints run as cohorts close, one to two weeks per batch

  6. Surprises At Database Lock

    Reconciliation finds orphans late. Gate: one LIMS record, audited report, tables to lock

Your Trial Will Not Be Waiting On Us: Cohort By Cohort PK For SAD And MAD Studies

Kit build, site logistics and cohort scheduling are where bioanalysis goes wrong. Each gate below has an owner and a clock.

Talk Science First? Ask Our Clinical CRO Experts.

Discuss protocol, cohorts and logistics.
  • SAD and MAD cohorts are analyzed as they close, with concentrations in front of your safety review committee before the next dose decision, so escalation does not idle on a lab queue.
  • Twelve LC-MS systems, duplicated immunoassay and PCR platforms and a 30+ scientist team in one US facility, so capacity is not the reason a batch waits or a timeline slips.
  • Quality is not the pitch, it is the floor: GCP conduct, GCLP analysis and five FDA inspections behind the SOPs, demonstrated to your QA team on any audit you choose to book.

What Does Clinical Trial Bioanalysis Cost?

Pricing is per assay and per sample, so a Phase I PK study and a pivotal trial with three endpoints are quoted on what they actually need, with no minimum batch size and no upfront sample commitment. Method validation runs two to three weeks on LC-MS/MS and four to six on ligand binding, WinNonlin NCA analysis is quoted as a line item, and a senior scientist responds within two business days.

Your Cost Cannot Move Mid-Study

The quote you approve is the price you pay. Cost cannot move mid-study without an SOW addendum you have already approved, which matters most on a trial that will outlast the quote by a year or more.

What Sponsors And CRO Partners Say About Setup, Kits And Deadlines

Two thirds of the 100+ sponsors we serve each year return, and more than 90% of methods developed in our lab go on to run study samples with us.

  • Director, Clinical Stage Biotech

    The expertise, competence and responsiveness demonstrated in setting up our clinical trial and preparing and shipping sample kits to the clinical site have been excellent.

  • VP, Head of Clinical Operations

    Our projects with NorthEast BioLab include successful method development, validation, stability studies during Clinical Phase I – IV studies.

  • Dir., Bioequivalence Testing

    Our latest successful study was a pivotal bioequivalence study, where samples from a cross-over study with about 100 volunteers needed swift analysis.

  • Sr. Associate Dir., Clinical Trials

    We have worked with NorthEast BioLab for over ten years given their commitment to highest quality bioanalytical data.

  • VP, Clinical Stage Biotech

    The ability to work with our timelines to meet deadlines is very much appreciated.

  • SVP Quality & Compliance, Biotech

    We are thrilled to complete our bioanalytical studies with their top quality and incredibly responsive team.

Why Do Biotechs And Clinical CROs Bring Us The Trials Their Filings Rest On?

Two decades of bioequivalence work built our lab, on the one trial type where bioanalysis alone stands between a drug and approval.

  • Audited reports with eCTD, SEND, SDTM and ADaM ready tables, timed to database lock
  • Watson LIMS chain of custody from accession through long term storage and retention
  • Direct access to the scientists running your study, with no account layer in between

What We Need From You

  • The protocol and lab manual sections that touch sampling, in time to comment before FPI
  • Reference standard or drug product with certificates, shipped before method work begins
  • Your visit calendar and interim analysis dates, so batches are scheduled to the trial
  • A named contact for reconciliation queries, so discrepancies close in days, not weeks
Basics Of Bioanalysis | NorthEast BioLab

Good Laboratory Practices for Bioanalytical Laboratories

Conceptually understanding GLP bioanalysis can be difficult, but good introductory resources enable a basic understanding. In simple words GLP bioanalysis, is a testing tool used in drug discovery and development to determine the concentration of drugs and metabolites in biological fluids….

One Draw, Five Endpoints: A Representative Study, Step By Step

We build kits for the site, cut aliquots in our building and run PK through safety under one custody chain, so no sample rides a courier twice.

  1. 1. Kits At The Site

    Protocol kits from our central lab, built to the visit schedule, at every site before FPI

  2. 2. Screening Draw, Enrollment Gate

    Exclusion panel by LC-MS, genotype by ddPCR, serostatus by ligand binding, under CLIA

  3. 3. Randomized, Dosing Begins

    Visit draws courier in overnight and accession into Watson LIMS the same day

  4. 4. One Tube, Aliquoted In House

    PK, ADA, cytokine and PBMC aliquots split under one chain of custody, no second courier

  5. 5. Endpoints In Parallel

    PK on LC-MS/MS or MSD, cytokines on Luminex, PBMC isolated within 8 to 24 hours

  6. 6. ADA As The Protocol Schedules

    Screening, confirmatory and titer tiers with drug tolerance, cell-based NAb if triggered

  7. 7. Report To Lock

    WinNonlin NCA, audited report, SDTM ready tables, leftover volume to monitored storage

Why Do Sponsors Choose Our Lab For Trial Bioanalysis On A Fixed Lock Date?

Because every specimen stays in one custody record from draw to database, and one scientist owns each cohort's data.
