Laboratory Consulting Services.
Customized for you.
OUR PROCESS
Let us help you uncover the true potential of your laboratory developed methods and provide high-throughput testing strategies that alleviate burdens that plaque your operational staff and management teams.
The PinPoint experience shows that small tweaks often have profound effects in laboratory processes and data quality. A keen focus on data quality is required to ensure smooth operations that prevent downstream consequences of bad data.
PinPoint runs its own accredited laboratory so we understand the pressure of juggling increasing costs and decreasing budgets. Consultants train labs on lean principles that avoid waste and decrease run rate failures.
The PinPoint model often identifies small operational tweaks that profoundly impact operational budgets and lower expensive reagent and labor burdens.
Scientific Integrity
We approach every client project through the lens of sample submission to final reports going out the door.
Our scientific rigor consistently delivers accuracy on-time. We “pull the curtain back” for our clients by providing CLIA/ISO17025 complaint SOPs, work instructions, and training to equip clients with the tools, knowledge and training required to keep pace with the ever-changing landscape of analytical toxicology.
Our mission is to help our client labs out pace their competitors by equipping them with the resources to be first, right, and credible. Data integrity is everything.
Data Quality
PinPoint does not cut corners. Our consultants work systematically through problems to deliver accurate, precise, and reproducible results.
The PinPoint experience shows that small tweaks often have profound effects in laboratory processes and data quality. A keen focus on data quality is required to ensure smooth operations and the downstream consequences when data quality is ignored.
Cost Efficiencies
High costs do not have to be synonymous with high quality data.
We run our own accredited laboratories so we understand the pressures lab directors have when juggling increasing costs and decreasing budgets. We focus our consultants to train labs on lean principles to avoid waste and re-running samples.
Small changes can have large impacts on reagent and labor costs.
