How to choose the right pre-clinical CRO


Bioscience

March 8, 2017 (Fairfax, VA)

SoBran BioScience, a division of SoBran Inc., and a leading provider of pre-clinical GLP contract research will be showcasing their pre-clinical contract research services at the Society of Toxicology’s annual ToxExpo in Baltimore, MD on March 12 through March 16.

Outsourcing pre-clinical contract research can be critical in shortening the drug discovery process. Biotechnology companies and university researchers can focus on more strategic activities and analysis. In addition, contract research organizations can provide technology and expertise not available in-house.

Entrusting your research to another organization can be daunting. Whether you use industry research, consultants or referrals, it is important to ask the right questions.

1. Do you offer a guaranteed 5-day IACUC review?
2. Can I directly communicate with laboratory personnel?
3. Are your facilities AAALAC accredited?
4. Are your staff members AALAS certified?
5. Do you provide GLP compliant services?
6. Do you have ISO 9001 certified management?
7. Will I be assigned a dedicated and responsive program manager?
8. Do you have access to the expertise I need?

“The SoBran team has developed a list of key questions for pre-clinical CROs during our two decades of bioscience research,” says Dr. Gregory Kelly, Sr. Vice President at SoBran. “We encourage prospective clients to ask questions and compare organizations to find the right research partner.”
