Test method transfer to customer site
If customers choose to conduct testing at their own site, SHL Medical provides technical support to ensure accurate test method transfer. We develop and validate test methods at SHL Medical facilities, then partner closely with customers to transfer them on site. Test Method Transfer (TMT) is completed through comparative testing and co‑validation to ensure aligned, reliable results.
- Risk mitigation due to the equivalent test method used as SHL Medical (avoiding differences in test results for same batches)
- Access to strong expertise in TMD and TMV
- Time savings due to exclusive focus on TMT for the customer
