ChemDiv adheres to a Good Laboratory Practice Standards to ensure reliability and reproducibility of study results and data reliability.
Quality assurance system encompass written SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) and internal regulations for all main service processes such as:
Test systems (animal models, test procedures, test equipment), Study performance, Study management, Handling of the test items, Data analyses and biometrics, Confidentiality, identity and security of proprietary compounds, Reporting
Unimpaired laboratory animals are required to gain reliable results from behavioral pharmacology. Only animals as undisturbed as possible in a standardized test surrounding can behave appropriately and thus generate valid data. Our quality management therefore focuses in particular on correct animal housing and handling.
