This episode examines the critical role of GLP protocols and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in laboratory studies. It explores how detailed protocols are essential for ensuring the consistent execution of experiments and the reliable collection of data. The discussion explains the importance of developing a protocol.

Key elements of protocol development are covered, including method validation, risk assessment, and periodic review. The episode explains how these measures actively support regulatory compliance and continuous improvement in lab operations. It emphasizes that protocols and SOPs are not static documents. They must be regularly updated to reflect new knowledge and best practices. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how these structured guidelines ensure the quality and integrity of scientific research.
