Study Notes

Good Laboratory Practices (GLP)

GLP is a quality system ensuring the proper planning, execution, monitoring, reporting, recording, and archiving of non-clinical health and environmental safety studies.
Focuses on ensuring accurate and reliable study results, adhering to ethical and regulatory standards, and fostering transparency.

Fundamental Points of GLP

Resources: Include personnel (sufficient quantity, trained, and with defined responsibilities), facility (spacious, well-maintained, and with adequate utilities), and reagents (properly characterized, labeled, and with readily available safety data sheets).
Characterization: Includes reagents and materials, where detailed information about each reagent, including its properties, hazards, and disposal procedures, should be documented and readily available.
Rules: Involve adhering to a laboratory quality manual, written procedures, and work instructions.
Results: Emphasize documentation and accuracy, with detailed records kept for all raw data, analytical methods used, and final reports
Quality Assurance: Ensures the reliability and accuracy of the data and helps to maintain the integrity of the laboratory.

Laboratory Safety

Safety goggles are mandatory when working with chemicals or apparatus.
Flammable reagents should be stored in closed containers and away from open flames.
Always wash hands before leaving the laboratory to remove any potential chemical residues.
Always pour acids slowly into water while stirring, never the other way around. This reduces the risk of explosive reactions due to heat generation.
Handle alkalis with caution and wash the skin immediately with water and 1% acetic acid solution in case of contact.
Avoid pointing test tubes toward other people when heating solutions to prevent potential splashes.
Use test tube holders or tongs when handling hot objects.
