Quality Management Update
We are proud to announce that we have been reaccredited until July 2025 for Good Clinical Laboratory Practice (GCLP) following a successful external audit in June. This accreditation complements our ISO 9001:2015 certification.
GCLP is an established international quality system for laboratories that analyse samples from clinical trials in accordance with global Good Clinical Practice (GCP) regulations, ensuring the quality and reliability of the clinical trial data generated by the laboratory. Check out the Quality GCLP homepage here to learn all about this important accreditation.
We continue to encourage Cardiff University researchers and businesses to contact us about our services and quality management advice.
