How Our Toxicology Lab Consulting Helps with Method Validations

With extensive experience building over 150 toxicology labs, Lighthouse Lab Service’s team of expert toxicologists brings invaluable knowledge of runtime, compliance, instrumentation needs, sample throughput, and reimbursement strategies. Our cost-effective approach to method validation covers most analytes requested by physicians, enabling you to offer a full spectrum of toxicology testing.

Our expert toxicology lab consulting team will work closely with you to design a custom testing method tailored to your specific test menu. This approach allows your lab to perform a wide range of toxicology lab tests on top instruments such as Sciex, Agilent, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Shimadzu. With our guidance, you can develop specialized panels that test for over 100 drugs and analytes, giving your lab the flexibility to meet diverse testing needs and improve patient care.

Our Ph.D.-level laboratory directors, specialists in high-complexity toxicology labs, will be on-site to oversee method development and ensure the highest standards of quality. In addition to method development, we provide comprehensive staff training on critical processes such as LC-MS instrumentation, sample preparation, data interpretation, and certifying reports. This hands-on training empowers your team to efficiently operate and maintain your toxicology lab while ensuring accurate and reliable test results.

We take the guesswork out of method validation by providing a structured validation plan for your technical staff. Our consulting team remotely writes the validation summary, detailing the results and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Once the initial test is completed, we support your team by supplying the necessary resources and guidance to finish running validation samples, setting the stage for a fully compliant and operational toxicology lab.

Our experienced scientists will collaborate directly with your technical staff to perform and document Correlation Studies and Specimen Stability Studies, which are critical studies are essential for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of your testing methods. Our tailored toxicology lab consulting services ensure that your laboratory complies with best practices and regulatory standards while providing precise, actionable test results.
