Until recently, pure paper-based data collection systems have predominated in clinical trials. However, they are still being used by many contract research organizations (CROs) either because of financial constraints that prevent them from investing in newer technology or because they deal with small clinical trials that do not justify that investment. Other CROs consider the paper-based data collection method to be the safest and most reliable approach to data collection. 

The synthesis of Ciproflaxin was one among several syntheses being performed in contract research by a micro reactor developer for the pharmaceutical industry [83]. In this multi-step synthesis, alkylaminodefluorinations were an essential part of the chemistry. 

In another investigation, process development and optimization studies were undertaken [67]. In the framework of a study conducted as contract research for... 

Dr Georg Geisler is a product safety expert and modeller working with RCC Ltd, a Contract Research Organisation based in Basel, Switzerland. In this function, he conducts environmental risk assessments of pesticides, biocides and other chemicals, as well as safety assessments for pesticide residues in the food chain. In 2003, Georg Geisler earned his Ph.D. on environmental life-cycle assessment of pesticides at ETH Zurich. In 1999, he had received a Diploma in environmental chemistry at the Friedrich-Schiller University, Jena, Germany. 

Sample preparation by contract research organization. In Japan, GLP for field residue study work has not yet been established and sample preparation for residue studies by private companies is not authorized. Contract research organizations are limited to prefectural research institutes and MAFF-recognized local research institutes, mainly neutral organizations, such as the Japan Plant Protection Association (JPPA). 

The cost of a residue study in Latin America is a function of the man-hours and expenses which must be committed to the project. This is true whether the study is conducted by an international corporation or through a contract research entity. 

If the trial is planned through the services of a contract research company, their estimate should include a time and cost accounting which specifies the exact services they will perform for the trial. Services not included are the responsibility of the Study Director and sponsor. When contracting out a field residue study, the contractor s cost estimate will only be a part of the total cost to the sponsor. Make sure that costs... 

Major registrants typically conduct as many residue trials as possible on their own research farms and contract the remainder to independent contract research companies. These contract research companies range in size from those that have several research farms to husband and wife teams with only one site. They also may include independent researchers who do not own a permanent test site but contract small plot test areas from farmers inside commercial production acreage. The goal of these trials is to conduct the smdy in a cropping system environment that represents commercial production systems, thereby ensuring that the raw agriculture commodities harvested represent commercially available commodities. 

Within any pharmaceutical company or contract research organization, there are groups and individuals outside the statistics department that you work with. Fet s take a look at the functional groups a statistical programmer interacts with most. 

Most contract research organizations and pharmaceutical companies are organized in a matrix management structure. This structure is called a matrix because there are project teams that span various functional departments. It may help to visualize the relationship like this ... 

This biotechnology company has been a partner to researchers engaged in the field of DNA/RNA synthesis by starting as a supplier of high purity products and evolving to an active contract researcher. ChemGenes Corporation has developed its expertise in the field of DNA/RNA synthesis. Both, the reagent products and the specialized custom services are provided, either as services or as a research contractor. 

BPD is a contract research facility, which started operations in 1996. From the storage of frozen materials, the customized laboratory services to the consulting in process development and scaling up, BPD has been accumulating useful experiences in the biotechnological scenario. Very flexible set of fermenters are used to satisfy customer needs, through very small and fast adaptation and modifications. Bioreactors productivity varies from 100 mg to 1000 mg scale.
