Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)

Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is a quality system concerned with the organisational process and the conditions under which non-clinical health and environmental safety studies are planned, monitored, recorded, archived and reported.
A non-clinical study is an experiment, or set of experiments, in which a test item is examined under laboratory conditions, or in the environment, to obtain data on its properties and/or safety, intended for submission to appropriate regulatory authorities.

What are the benefits of GLP?

• Credible analytical study data and reporting
• Promotion and acceptance of analytical study data internationally by registration authorities (removing the need for multiple inspections)
• Reduced technical barriers to trade though mutual acceptance of data

GLP services include:

• Preparation of a study plan/protocol to meet regulatory requirements
• Study Director/Principle Investigator to conduct the analytical phase of the trial in full compliance with the OECD Guidelines
• GLP compliant analytical services to support horticultural compound and veterinary drug registration applications internationally
• Development and validation of analytical procedures (can be GLP compliant)
• Ability to adopt methodology to suit the requirements of the customer
• A variety of analytical techniques including Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (Elisa), High Performance Liquid Chromatography, Gas Chromatography, Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS, LC-MSMS) and Microbiological Inhibition Assay.
• A detailed report in full compliance with the OECD requirements (retained for seven years)

We employ a dedicated GLP team and Supervisor to support the GLP services we provide. Our services are:
