How Outsourcing Makes It Easier to Comply with Regulations

There is only so much time in a day and there are only so many things that you can conceivably think about throughout that day. Regulations are an essential part of doing business. They guide us and ensure the products being manufactured are safe and appropriate for the end users. They institute a set of rules or guidelines that companies are expected to follow and they can be time consuming and difficult to comply with.

For labs that are working with potentially hazardous materials or that may need to use certified products in their work, these regulations can eat up a lot of time and energy. There are ways to ease the burden of these regulations on your lab. One of those ways is outsourcing.

Outsourcing allows you to worry about your work, while someone else worries about ensuring that the substances and tools you’re working with meet government and organizational regulations.

Convenient and Certified

For instance, many labs find it much more convenient to outsource their solution and reagent needs to another company. Through Chata Biosystems, Lifecycle is able to provide high-quality chemicals and reagents. All products are manufactured under a Quality Management System certified to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 13485:2003 standards with fully traceable batch records developed for each customer’s specifications.  Chata’s chemicals and reagents would be received with a Certificate of Analysis detailing the testing and specifications to provide assurance the products align with the each customers regulations.

Chata’s revolutionary, custom-engineered packaging solutions also create a more microbiological-controlled process. Taken as a whole, products from Chata relieve you of the need to create your own reagents and solutions, while making sure that they are properly manufactured and tested.

Customized

Another reason that it’s so important to outsource some functions is because of the high degree of customization that many labs require. For example, Boval BioSolutions offers over 30 custom BSA formulations and they also offer a high degree of customization. Labs that need a very specific type of formulation can still get what they’re looking for without worrying about regulations on their end.

It’s natural to be slightly wary of outsourcing a function that you’ve been performing in-house for years. But we’ve reached the point where the risks have been eliminated and the benefits far outweigh them anyway.

It might be time to take a look around the lab and think about what needs to stay in-house and what could be outsourced to increase your efficiency. Oftentimes labs take up space in their facilities and expend energy that could be better put towards their essential functions. In some cases they simply don’t realize the vast options they have for outsourcing.

Regulatory compliance, fast and reliable deliveries, and high-quality products are now the norm. Are you interested in identifying areas in your medical research lab that could be outsourced?
