OC Lab Space Expands to Meet COVID Demand
WCCT Global Inc., a contract research organization specializing in early phase clinical trials, is expanding its Orange County-based clinical pharmacology unit and laboratory capacity to meet increasing demand during the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes recent demand for conducting COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials in healthy volunteers with undisclosed partners.
The clinical pharmacology unit expansion in Cypress will feature the addition of approximately 5,000 square feet of space that can be used flexibly by study participants during their visits. The facility expansions should be completed by the end of this month.
Moreover, the company recently completed a 700-square-foot addition to the onsite laboratory that that has enabled the laboratory team to nearly double its throughput capacity for cell isolation. By example, a sterile environment is required for the isolation of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells, which is a common laboratory service performed in clinical trials where an immune response can be observed and evaluated.
