This lab was established in 1999 and is a full-service lab offering all testing disciplines in chemistry, haematology etc. In total, we have two Biosafety Level 3 TB labs with a full redundancy State of the art Building Management system (BMS). The lab is College of America (CAP) -accredited, and has the following capabilities:

• Pre-analytical (Sample accessioning)
• Analytical (Safety and Esoteric)
• Specimen Management and Storage (Ambient & Frozen)
• Clinic supplies (Kit building)
• Logistics Support

These end-to-end, services are tailored to meet the complexities of providing clinical trial sites support in Sub-Saharan Africa and are set up to help ensure timely turn-around of testing and result reporting, safe handling and transport of samples, and best-in-class project support.
