Trial Sample Management - Translational Support Unit

The Translational Support Unit (TSU) is a GLCP accredited dedicated laboratory based within OCTO and specialising in clinical trial sample management. The lab undertakes end-to-end sample tracking and oversight and is a central point for sample coordination. TSU staff engage with protocol and lab manual development early on in the life of a trial.

TSU hold the LEAF Gold award for sustainable laboratory practices.

Trial Sample Analysis

For laboratory-based analyses for a trial we will work with a Chief Investigator to identify appropriate third parties including laboratories.  Where required we will ensure that the laboratory is appropriately resourced and structured for the required purposes, and will oversee performance throughout the study, ensuring relevant information is collected and recorded within the Trial Master File.
