This book is a practical guide to running reliable, ethical, and well-documented laboratories. It explains what Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) means and shows how to apply it every day—writing and using SOPs, planning studies, keeping good records, managing risks, and ensuring quality. You’ll find clear guidance on common lab methods, equipment care, data integrity, and compliance.

The book also covers animal ethics and CCSEA guidelines, and shows how GLP works in real settings like electrophysiology, artificial insemination and ART labs, and toxicology. With checklists, templates, and examples, it helps teams build safe workflows, traceable results, and a culture of continuous improvement—including how digital tools and AI can support better practices
