There is no cure for breast cancer as of yet, though there is a significant amount of research focused upon it.
The Histopathology industry is one that requires exacting study techniques and can suffer exponentially when not having enough capital expenditure. Studying disease and doing pre-clinical research means you have to set a high bar for your reputation, which could easily shatter with one mistake.
The efficiencies that contract research organizations can gain from outsourcing preclinical histopathology services comes from a mix of organizational principles and industry specific standards. Of these, the three most critical success factors to consider are the quality of the slides and data, the speed and accuracy of completion, and price competitiveness.
In the role specimen storage plays in GLP preclinical studies, there is a simple answer; it is at the heart of pharmaceutical research and important to Food and Drug Administration approval for new drugs. However, that statement does need extensive qualification.
If you are exploring the resources available in support of preclinical histological testing, it is useful to understand how important archiving preclinical histology slides is in creating the context and environment in which it takes place.
Your Beginners Guide to Outsourcing Pathology Services should feature chapters on these three qualities: Efficiency, accuracy and affordability.
