MLM Medical Labs is a global leading specialty and central laboratory with comprehensive research services and analytical capabilities. Offering standard and fully customizable biological specimen testing and auxiliary logistics services across a wide spectrum of therapeutic areas, MLM adds value at every stage of the product development process, from nonclinical and preclinical through phase IV clinical trials.

Preclinical Services:
MLM Medical Labs excels in providing comprehensive preclinical services, offering efficacy testing across multiple disease areas within inflammation and immunology. Our expertise extends to assisting with conducting dose range finding studies, toxicology assessments, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) studies. With a focus on delivering reliable data and insights, MLM’s preclinical services empower clients to make informed decisions early in the drug development process, setting the stage for successful clinical trials.

MLM also provides comprehensive support for preclinical drug development, offering scientific, and strategic guidance. This includes services encompassing a range of advanced techniques such as cytokine assessment, pathology, detailed reporting, and secure archiving of preclinical research samples. Moreover, our in-house capabilities allow us to perform the majority of ex-vivo assessments on site, minimizing the need for multiple vendors and ensuring high sample quality, which is imperative for accurate data readouts.

Histology Services:
At MLM Medical Labs we are committed to providing you with exceptional histopathology services. Our experienced team of scientists are experts in routine and advanced laboratory techniques including tissue processing, sample embedding, IHC assay development, ISH & IF staining, whole slide scanning, and image analysis via pathologist assessment or automated image analysis. Our laboratories are equipped to accommodate highly customizable and standard analyses for all tissue types. MLM Medical Labs will support you throughout each stage of development, bridging the gap between preclinical findings and clinical applications. The success of your project is always at the forefront of our efforts.

Translational Services:
MLM’s translational research services are designed to support our company’s mission and vision of expediting new therapies for patients to improve global health. Our scientists are experienced in collaboratively designing customized solutions to bridge or “translate” your specific needs into practical and usable applications for incorporation into your clinical trial.

Development of receptor occupancy (RO) assays for new drug compounds to define the activity at the target receptor(s) and quantify the relationship between drug concentration and the observed effect or devising methods for investigational sites to stabilize precious and irreplaceable samples for shipment back to MLM for analysis, are only two real examples of our translational expertise.

Central Lab Services:
At MLM we take care of all laboratory aspects in your clinical trial. During study setup, we prepare all materials and documents and design your study and visit specific kits. Once our proprietary MLM Kit Building® units have been built and quality-checked, the in-house logistics departments will deliver the kits to virtually all countries in the world. Samples return to MLM seamlessly with our predefined logistics workflows – regardless of sample requirements.

Your pre-labelled samples can be received 365 days a year and will be registered by double-data entry into our Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). Inconsistencies or missing data automatically generate queries for immediate resolution. Samples will either go to our laboratories for immediate analysis, be securely stored or shipped onwards to sponsor-selected specialty or qualified MLM partner labs.

MLM partner labs undergo a stringent vendor selection and qualification process, including questionnaires, regular audits and performance discussions.

Results of safety analysis is available on the day of sample receipt and, in addition to e-mail or fax, are easily accessible through mlm online®.

Data is transferred from our LIMS to your database via customized data interfaces. Dummy data transfers ensure seamless integration with your database prior to study start. If required, we will provide a full (bio)analytical report according to EMA and FDA guidelines, aligning with the study plan at study set-up. All study-relevant documents are archived for 25 years.

With MLM Medical Lab’s strong reputation for scientific expertise, passionate approach to customer care, and adherence to quality data, we empower clients ranging from emerging biotech to top ten global pharma companies to reach confident clinical decisions that ultimately serve to improve patient lives.
