CASE STUDY

Integrated Multi-Lab Data Consolidation for Animal Health Research

At a Glance

Multi-lab research organizations consolidate fragmented diagnostic data from diverse internal and external laboratories into a unified, standardized repository to accelerate research cycles and enable advanced analytics.

Outcomes

Accelerated research and diagnostic cycles through unified, validated datasets enabling faster decision-making for treatment and study outcomes
Reduced manual overhead by automating data ingestion and standardization, freeing scientific staff from repetitive reconciliation tasks

Client Challenges

Unifying Fragmented Data across Diverse Labs 

Veterinary and animal health enterprises, including clinical diagnostic centres, CROs, nutrition companies, animal health research facilities, and ingredient manufacturers, depend on multiple internal and external laboratories to process a vast array of tests. These range from routine diagnostics such as blood or tissue analysis to advanced biomarker panels, genomics, microbiome studies, and metabolomics. 

While the scientific sophistication advances, the data environment remains highly fragmented. Each partnering lab may use specialized devices, software, and reporting formats—emails, FTP uploads, Excel spreadsheets, or web portals; creating a complex environment for organizations trying to consolidate results. Differences in units of measurement, naming conventions, and file structures make it challenging to bring all information into a unified repository for statistical analysis, operational decision-making, and regulatory reporting. 

This lack of streamlined integration reduces visibility into research progress, creates delays in clinical reporting, extends clinical trial timelines, and increases operational costs. Ultimately, this limits the ability to uncover patterns that drive innovation in animal health and research.  This fragmentation and lack of seamless integration also lead to significant data silos, manual intervention errors, and limited scalability.

The Solution 

End to End Multi Lab Data Integration Services 

Cambridge PetTech delivers cloud-native data integration and orchestration services that consolidate lab outputs from diverse sources into a centralized, standardized, and secure repository. We connect data from specialized diagnostic instruments (PCR, ELISA, LCMS etc.) and external research partners - universities, veterinary and animal health institutions and third-party clinical and diagnostic labs - no matter their reporting method, into a single, harmonized data model designed for high volume veterinary and animal health workflows. 

By eliminating the need to manually reconcile varying formats and units, our approach enables accurate, real-time access to data and accelerates innovation across the multi lab ecosystem.
