FDA Inspection for Compliance with GLP Regulations
On September 20, 2012, an investigator from the FDA visited MicroConstants’ San Diego facility for a routine inspection to assess our overall compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations. The five-day inspection took place across the entire facility. Several method validations, three sample analysis projects, and a pharmacokinetic analysis report were selected to be investigated in more detail, with the inspector carrying out detailed inspections of the equipment used in each. Following the extensive evaluation, the investigator reported zero findings, observations, or recommendations.
