WIL Research Quality Assurance Program
Quality is inherent in all operations at WIL Research. Our comprehensive standard operating procedures, initial GLP training for new hires and yearly GLP refresher training as well as the comprehensive technical training by experienced staff members ensures that all operations at WIL provide quality data collection and reporting.
The Quality Assurance Unit consists of experienced and well-trained auditors with many years of experience in toxicology operations, auditing, and a solid understanding of Good Laboratory Practices (GLP). Many have RQAP-GLP Certification. The Unit monitors and audits study progress from study initiation to final report.
The Quality Assurance Unit (QAU) reviews all protocols and amendments, attends pre-study meetings, conducts in-process inspections for all regulated studies, conducts yearly facility inspections, reviews the raw data and final reports to ensure that all of the protocol objectives are achieved and that the data are representative of the quality expected by WIL Research Management.
The frequent interaction between the compliance specialist, study directors, technical staff and management provide a strong foundation to maintain the continued high level of accuracy and quality in the studies conducted by WIL Research.

- Complete audit trail recording
- Validated system
- Secure system that requires both a login password and a program access password. Authority checks for program use are controlled by assignment of security levels to each user
- Experienced IS support staff
