GLP

Good Laboratory Practice

Standard brief

Good laboratory practice or GLP is a set of principles intended to assure the quality and integrity of non-clinical laboratory studies that are intended to support research or marketing permits for products regulated by government agencies. The term GLP is most commonly associated with the pharmaceutical industry and the required non-clinical animal testing that must be performed prior to approval of new drug products. However, GLP applies to many other non-pharmaceutical agents such as colour additives, food additives, food contamination limits, food packaging, and medical devices.

GLP

Benefits

Primary Benefit of GLP

The primary benefit of following current Good Laboratory Practice is the creation of a document trail providing traceability for all measurements. This leads to the creation of technically defendable scientific data, by which its quality, reliability and trustworthiness can be assured.

Other Benefits of GLP

This in turn will lead to many other benefits for both the laboratory and its customers, including:

  • Increased confidence in the reliability and trustworthiness of laboratory data

  • Increased production of right first time results

  • Increased overall productivity

  • Increased laboratory reputation

  • Reduced need for re-work

  • Reduced time spent on non-revenue earning investigations
