GMP Quality Assurance and Control: The Difference and Importance

Good Manufacturing Practice — GMP — is essential for ensuring that pharmaceutical products are produced according to the standards put in place by the FDA. These GMP standards are designed to help minimize the risk of contamination and harm to consumers. Today, technology has only helped to further improve these standards, with cleanrooms now able...

The Difference Between GMP and GLP Testing Lab Standards

Currently, the United States holds more than 45% of the total global pharmaceutical market. However, despite maintaining this foothold, there can still be confusion based on the differences between GMP and GLP testing lab standards and regulations. While both are testing laboratories, they are very different when compared and contrasted against each other.

Factors to Consider When Bringing a New Drug to the Market

Pharmaceutical companies spend billions of dollars and several years to introduce one drug to the market. A single drug may require about $2 billion and 10 years of testing. Each stage of the test has a set of unique challenges, costs, and timelines that a pharmaceutical company must consider. Read on to learn more about...

The 5 Key Elements To Goods Manufacturing Practices

The pharmaceutical industry is one of the only markets in the United States that can be expected to remain relatively steady. This is not only due to its size, but its necessity.

GMP vs. GLP Lab Testing: What's the Difference?

When it comes to laboratory testing, there are two terms that are commonly used: a GMP and GLP testing lab. It's understandable to get these two types of laboratory testing confused. After all, Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations both relate to laboratory testing. However, GMP and GLP testing labs...

Why Drug Companies Must Follow GMP Standards

The American pharmaceutical industry is one of the biggest in the world. Due to the fact that the United States exhibits a greater acceptance of pharmaceutical products than many countries, and even has a booming pharmaceutical sales industry, it's clear that this particular industry can withstand a lot of stress, including that of the current...

Chemical Purity: Definitions, Examples, and Applications

Chemical purity refers to an element contains a single substance, without any other element tarnishing its standalone existence. Creating products that offer chemical purity can be quite an involved process. However, it’s necessary in order for us to have vaccines, medicines, and even everyday household products. To learn more about chemical purity, how it is...

GMP Standards: How They Apply To Pharmaceutical Labs

Perhaps there is no location that should be more carefully kept up and maintained than a pharmaceutical laboratory. Pharmaceutical labs are obviously responsible for creating and maintaining drugs and medications that will eventually be distributed to the general public.

Why It's Crucial For Laboratories To Maintain The Best Possible Practices

Laboratories hold a great deal of importance in the United States. In fact, the country is currently the number one producer of chemical products. These chemical products can include pharmaceutical products, as well as radiolabeled compounds and much more.

What Makes Carbon-14 Ideal For Isotopic API Labeling?

Each element can exist as two or more isotopes that differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Isotopic labeling is a technique used by chemists to track the passage of an isoptic through a reaction, cell, or a metabolic pathway. The reactant is labeled by replacing specific atoms in the isotope to make...

Understanding Radiochemicals and Radiolabeling

It’s estimated that over 810,000 people work in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries in the United States. One key facet of these industries is the use of radiochemistry to study and utilize ICN radiochemicals and radioactive isotopes. Radiochemistry and radiolabeling have many applications both in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors allowing for a better understanding...

All You Need to Know About Radiolabeling

Radiolabeling plays a key role in environmental case studies as well as drug development and research. Thanks to radiolabeling, scientists are able to monitor the breakdown or movement of target molecules. With this process, drug researchers are able to track any new drug in terms of how it gets metabolized as it moves through the...
