What is the difference between GLP and GMP testing?

GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) are two distinct quality systems that apply to different stages of product development and production.

  • GLP testing ensures the reliability and traceability of non-clinical laboratory studies. It focuses on proper documentation, validated analytical methods, and accurate data recording to guarantee that test results are scientifically sound. GLP applies mainly to research and development laboratories.

  • GMP testing, on the other hand, governs manufacturing and quality control of products that are already approved for clinical or commercial use. It ensures that every product batch is produced consistently and meets predefined specifications, using validated processes and equipment.

In short,

GLP = testing for research quality
GMP = testing for production quality

Generi Biotech operates under both GLP and GMP conditions, ensuring that its molecular diagnostics and oligonucleotide production meet the highest international quality standards.
