Quintiles Laboratories Asia Enhances Services in China

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina (ots/PRNewswire)

Quintiles Transnational Corp. today announced that Quintiles
Laboratories Asia (QLAB Asia) has amended its existing agreement with
Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) to enhance central
laboratory services in China.
The new amended agreement with PUMCH enhances services for
customers by allowing Quintiles central laboratory (QLAB) facilities
in China to operate under the same standardized processes, controls
and reporting mechanisms as other QLAB facilities. Under the new
arrangement, QLAB facilities in China will have dedicated rooms for
specimen management and analytical testing using Quintiles' core
instruments and globally harmonized processes that follow global QLAB
standard operating procedures and core quality standard.
Quintiles already operates the largest and most comprehensive
central lab testing facility in Asia at its Singapore base and has
been providing central lab services in China under the initial
agreement with PUMCH signed in October 2003.
Anand Tharmaratnam, M.D., CEO of Quintiles Southeast Asia and QLAB
Asia, said: "The new agreement represents true growth and quality
standardization of our Asia central lab service. It consolidates our
position as the most comprehensive central lab group in Asia and very
nicely complements our clinical business, which is the largest
pharmaceutical development group in Asia."
Alan Ong, Vice President and General Manager, QLAB Asia, said of
the enhanced services: "QLAB Asia performed nearly a million tests in
2004, of which 400,000 tests were for China trials. We are excited
that our new enhanced services will now allow our customers to
participate in the growth of clinical trials in Asia, freed from the
problems and difficulties of exporting blood samples out of China."
The Beijing facility will be managed by Susan Sun, who recently
joined Quintiles.
The company also announced that QLAB in China will apply for
accreditation from the College of American Pathologists (CAP) by
early 2006. Currently QLAB facilities in Singapore; Atlanta, Ga., US;
Edinburgh, Scotland; and Pretoria, SA, are all CAP certified.
