Singapore Lab Fully Equipped with Harmonized Technology Platforms and Instrumentation to Enable Seamless Integration with US, UK, and China Operations.
ACM Global Central Laboratory
, a diagnostic central laboratory delivering high-quality testing services that optimize clinical trial outcomes, is pleased to announce that it has officially opened the doors at its new Singapore lab facility. The opening of ACM Singapore, as well as the impending ACM Shanghai location, is a derivative of ACM Global’s acquisition of Phoenix Pharma Central Services Pte. Ltd(Phoenix PCS), a premier central laboratory services provider for Asia Pacific clinical trials. The fully-operational lab comes staffed by a local team that has extensive clinical trials experience and knowledge of regional regulatory requirements, providing local support throughout the Asia Pacific region with increased speed and efficiency.
“We have successfully provided central laboratory services in the Asia-Pacific region for more than 15 years, but with the addition of an ACM Global owned and operated lab, we’re able to offer our clients new levels of efficiency and operational control in an increasingly important region for clinical research,” said Jerry Boxall, managing director, ACM Europe and Asia. “This facility is truly an extension of our operations in the United States, the United Kingdom and China, and has been specifically designed to deliver global clinical trial services in the same seamless and time-efficient manner as they would from any of our other established facilities.”
Located in the heart of Singapore and just five minutes from the Singapore International Airport, the facility features approximately 5,000 square feet of laboratory space and is equipped with ACM Global’s standard technology platforms and instrumentation to enable seamless integration with its global network of laboratories. The Singapore lab, which has been accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) since 2003,offers a broad menu of safety and specialty testing, including chemistry, hematology, urinalysis, and immunology testing. Chiew Yan Lee, PhD, FRCPath, who joined ACM Global from Phoenix PCS as Director, Singapore and China Operations and has more than 20 years' experience in central laboratory operations within the Asia-Pacific region, will oversee the Singapore and Shanghai facilities, staff and operations.
The addition of ACM owned and operated laboratories in Singapore and Shanghai is the latest in a series of growth-driven investments made by ACM Global, which in 2013 moved its European laboratory operations into a new, purpose-built, and expanded facility in York, England. Since 1994, ACM Global has provided central laboratory testing services to more than 2,300 clinical studies, involving more than 7,000 investigator sites in 60 countries, giving the company a broad range of global experience and an in-depth understanding of regional requirements.

Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
