Charlotte, NC – June 25, 2025
Lighthouse Lab Services, the leading provider of end-to-end consulting and operational support for clinical and research laboratories, today announced a new strategic partnership with Sampled, a globally recognized integrated analytical laboratory and biorepository. Together, the two organizations will deliver a seamless pathway for laboratories to launch, scale, and diversify testing services while preserving capital and safeguarding quality.
Through this partnership, Lighthouse Lab Services’ clients will gain streamlined access to Sampled’s comprehensive portfolio of sample processing, multiomics, cellular services, bioinformatics analysis, and sample storage solutions. By outsourcing specialized workflows to the state-of-the-art facilities at Sampled, laboratories can:
- Expand capacity without heavy capital outlay: Leverage Sampled’s existing infrastructure rather than building or leasing new space.
- Accelerate service-line additions: Tap into advanced genomic, proteomic, and cellular assays backed by rigorous quality systems.
- Maintain compliance and industry standards: Rely on Lighthouse’s seasoned consultants for regulatory guidance while Sampled provides validated workflows and robust chain-of-custody.
“Every day we help laboratories overcome obstacles, whether that’s recruiting specialized staff, navigating regulatory requirements, or procuring instrumentation,” says Pat Bohan, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships for Lighthouse Lab Services. “Partnering with Sampled allows our clients to remove one of the biggest barriers to growth: the need for substantial capital investment. Together, we’re delivering an integrated, cost-effective route to scaling high-complexity testing.”
With complementary strengths in toxicology, pathology, molecular diagnostics, and beyond, Lighthouse Lab Services and Sampled are ready to help laboratories meet both today’s operational pressures and tomorrow’s scientific opportunities.
