GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Lohnlabor
English translation:contract laboratory

Bus/Financial - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
German term or phrase: Lohnlabor
I came across this term while translating for a large pharmaceutical company:

Lohnlabore unterliegen den gleichen Anforderungen wie zuvor für Lohnhersteller beschrieben.

Although I am unfamiliar with the term, I am guessing that "Lohn" in this case refers to "contract work".
My web research didn't yield any direct results for "Lohnlabor", however for the terms "Auftrags-/Vertragslabor" I found the translation "contract laboratory".

Are these terms synonymous?
Just thought i'd check to make sure.

Thanks!

Explanation:
'Lohnlabor', 'Auftragslabor' and 'Vertragslabor' are synonyms. Cf. 'Lohnfertigung' = 'contract manufacturing'.
