Welcome to the Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) Quiz! This quiz is designed to enhance your understanding of essential lab protocols and reinforce the importance of safety, precision, and documentation in scientific research. 

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced researcher, this quiz will help you revisit the core principles that define a well-organized and efficient lab environment. Let’s put your lab knowledge to the test and see how well you know the fundamentals of GLP!

    1. What is the primary purpose of Good Laboratory Practices (GLP)?

    Reducing lab costsReducing lab costsSimplifying experimentsImproving marketing strategies

    2. What should you do before using any chemical in the lab?

    Mix it with waterRefer to its Safety Data Sheet (SDS)Taste it to confirm its propertiesStart the experiment immediately

    3. Which of the following is NOT considered personal protective equipment (PPE)?

    GlovesLab coatEarphonesSafety goggles

    4. How often should laboratory equipment like pipettes and balances be calibrated?

    MonthlyEvery 3-6 months or as recommendedOnly when it shows errorsOnce a year

    5. What is the first thing you should do when a chemical spill occurs?

    Cover it with paper towelsEvacuate the labInform the lab supervisor and follow spill control proceduresIgnore it if it’s small

    6. Why is labeling all reagents and samples critical in the lab?

    To meet safety guidelines and avoid mix-upsTo make the lab look neatTo reduce documentation requirementsTo decorate the workspace

    7. What should you do with expired reagents or chemicals?

    Use them cautiouslyDispose of them as per hazardous waste guidelinesMix them with other chemicals to neutralizeStore them indefinitely for future use

    8. What is the ideal way to clean glassware used in experiments?

    Rinse with tap water and air dryUse detergents and deionized waterLeave them unwashed after useSoak in acidic solutions overnight

    9. Why is it important to document all experimental data, even failed attempts?

    For future reference and reproducibilityTo comply with GLP guidelinesTo track progress and learn from mistakesAll of the above

    10. What should you do if a piece of equipment is not functioning properly?

    [radio radio-nov10 default:0 Attempt to repair it yourself" "Ignore the issue and proceed" "Stop using it and report it immediately" "Use another tool without informing anyone"]

    Space-Based 3D Cell Culture Research Paves the Way for New Cancer Therapies

    In October, we think pink, and for a good reason—one out of every eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and each year, 2 million women are given this frightening diagnosis.

    Biotechnology startup MicroQuin leveraged the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory to grow 3D breast and prostate cancer cell cultures to learn more about how these cancers develop and grow. However, the research team found something incredible that could lead to a way to treat not just breast and prostate cancers but all cancers.

    Research suggests heart condition impacted by many rather than one single gene

    Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) affects the heart’s ability to efficiently pump blood, as the organ grows larger but weaker.

    It had been thought that the cause was faulty copies of one single gene inherited down family lines. However, in more cases than not, no specific gene can be identified as faulty.

    Now a new study in Nature Genetics journal suggests that as much as one third of the risk is attributable to the cumulative but individually small effects of many thousands of genetic differences.

    Capturing the Complexity of Real Cancer Cases with Patient-Derived Xenograft Models

    One of the most significant areas of advancement in oncology is the growing capacity to match patients with therapies tailored to their unique cancer. As more relevant biomarkers and druggable targets are identified, drug developers still face an evergreen challenge: narrowing down the most promising therapeutic candidate from hundreds of compounds is akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. Relevant preclinical models are vital to ensuring that time and money are invested in advancing the most effective drug candidates.

    While traditional cell line-derived xenograft (CDX) models generated with established cancer cell lines are a valuable tool for initially assessing the efficacy of experimental drugs, these models fall short in capturing the intricacies of patients’ actual clinical situations.

    Blog of the Month

    In laboratories, data is at the heart of scientific discovery and research. Whether in pharmaceutical research, clinical testing, chemical analysis, or academic studies, data security and integrity are critical components of effective operations. As research and testing become increasingly digital, laboratories must adopt robust data protection practices to ensure compliance, safeguard sensitive information and mitigate the risks of data breaches or errors.

    One critical aspect of this is ensuring that laboratory equipment and software used for data collection and analysis meet rigorous data security standards, especially when they involve regulated environments. This blog will explore key data protection practices in labs, highlighting how the labs meet Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) compliance.
