Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) is a certification issued by regulatory bodies to ensure that the data submitted to them has been obtained using the proper procedures. GLP certification also ensures that the protocols used were thoroughly documented such that any scientist could follow the protocol and replicate the results. Non-GLP practices are not ‘bad’ or ‘inferior’ – they mostly lack the extensive documentation needed to qualify for GLP certification. For the early phases of pre-clinical research it is unnecessary to adhere to these requirements. Carrying out non-GLP studies will preserve both time and funding.
