Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)

Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is a set of guidelines designed to ensure that laboratory studies, particularly in drug development and toxicology, are conducted consistently and reliably. GLP covers aspects such as proper documentation, equipment maintenance, and quality control. Its goal is to produce high-quality and credible data that can be trusted by regulatory authorities and the public. By following GLP, laboratories help ensure safety and efficacy in products like medications and chemicals, ultimately protecting human health and the environment.
