Vela Laboratories Receives the GMP Certificate for Its Analytical and Quality Control Laboratories

09 Apr 2008 - Vela Laboratories announced that it has received the GMP certificate for its analytical and quality control laboratories. "Good Manufacturing Practice" is a body of internationally accepted regulations set forth by EU and US drug agencies. GMP compliance ensures that pharmaceuticals, active ingredients and medical devices are pro­duced and quality-controlled according to state-of-the-art standards.
 
"GMP compliance is the gold standard in quality assurance in the life science industry. It is a major achievement for Vela Labs to have reached the GMP certification just 18 months since its formation," said Dr. Markus Fido, founder and CEO of Vela Laboratories. "Now that Vela Laboratories is GMP certified, its analytical services fully qualify to support clinical studies as well as regulatory submissions."
 
"GMP certification is an important milestone for our analytical services business. Now we will start to consistently expand our analytical methods portfolio that we are offering to the pharmaceutical and biotech industry," said Dr. Andreas Nechansky, founder of Vela Labo­ratories and Chief Operating Officer.
