Pool Alliance and the Pathology Department of Southampton University Hospital & Medical School have been working together in partnership since 1995.

Our laboratories are CPA accredited incorporating ISO 15189, CAP accredited and GLP compliant. We offer clients the choice of:-

• A “traditional” central laboratory service providing 24/7 cover all year round including long term sample storage.
• A referral/research laboratory service with method development expertise and an extensive range of esoteric tests and biomarkers performed routinely.
• A innovative form of central laboratory service for studies where local hospital laboratories have to be used, made possible through the application of Data Harmonisation Technology.

Study database construction is customised to client requirements providing a comprehensive central laboratory service in all circumstances including secure access to laboratory data.

In addition to the United Kingdom, POOL has study management teams based in the Netherlands, USA, South Africa, India and Australia and field-based personnel in seventeen other countries in support of our global service provision.

Each Member Laboratory is fully certified within its home country.
