Quality Assurance
Source BioScience is dedicated to the provision of a total
quality service and to meet this goal employs a high calibre of
consultant pathologists, laboratory and administrative staff.
Our laboratory is housed in a modern building and is equipped
with state of the art equipment for professional sample handling,
result generation and efficient, accurate reporting.
To ensure we attain our goal of providing this high level of
service we were accredited with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) in August 2005,
which was reconfirmed during January 2008 in conjunction with a
successful inspection for Good Clinical Practice (GCP).
GLP accreditation provides clients with the assurance that
Source BioScience is fully licensed to undertake regulatory studies
and act as a reference laboratory for pharmaceutical companies
seeking compliance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice
as set out by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development). GCP accreditation provides further assurance that all
regulatory studies involving human tissue are conforming to the
principles of good clinical practice that are outlined in articles
2 to 5 in the EU Directive 2005/28/EC.
We were originally granted accreditation by the Clinical Pathology
Accreditation UK Ltd (CPA) in August 2006, and we have since
been reassessed in 2009 and retained our accreditation status.
Our license from the Human Tissue Authority (HTA) was granted in
2007.
The Source BioScience quality management system is unique as it
encompasses the requirements of GLP, GCP, CPA and HTA into its
scope.
The Company undertakes regular audits and inspections from
outside agencies and clients to ensure that our standard operating
procedures and practices are in accordance with GLP, GCP, CPA and
HTA requirements.
In order to monitor the accuracy and precision of analysis,
carried out with strict adherence to well established standard
operating procedures, Source BioScience incorporates a stringent
quality control programme into its daily routine, and are a member
of the UKNEQAS Quality Assurance Scheme
