“Singapore is a crucial region for strengthening Labcorp’s extensive global presence, offering our clients—both in-region and international—a complementary site to support their bioanalytical studies,” said Stephane Sidobre, vice president and head of Labcorp’s Global Bioanalytical Services. “We are thrilled to expand services in this area and enhance the options available to those we serve. The new laboratory will provide expedited turnaround time for our clients and enhance Covance by Labcorp’s ability to deliver for the Asia-Pacific region.”

The new bioanalytical laboratory in Singapore will support the development of both small and large molecular entities while providing a complete range of regulated and non-regulated bioanalytical services. Bioanalytics is a quantitative measure of drugs and metabolites in biological samples such as blood, serum, tissue and plasma. The laboratory will offer Good Laboratory Practice and Good Clinical Practice-compliant bioanalysis, liquid chromatography-mass spectometry and immunochemistry platforms, as well as discovery and clinical biomarker analytical services. In addition, it will allow faster data turnaround for early phase trials in Asia-Pacific markets.

Construction and reconfiguration of the bioanalytical laboratory has commenced, and its opening is expected in late 2021.
