Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) in an Academic Institute for Science

This article offers a comprehensive and in-depth guide to the implementation of Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) in academic institutions, emphasizing its critical role in ensuring the quality and safety of scientific research. It provides a detailed overview of the key principles and benefits of GLP while elaborating on the specific responsibilities and roles of various laboratory personnel, spanning from administrators to students. Furthermore, the article furnishes clear and actionable directives for the enhancement of overall laboratory safety measures. It serves as a valuable resource for institutions seeking to foster a culture of excellence and responsibility in their scientific endeavors

Teak-supporting Parasia pedon (plateau) was characterised by shallow, dark reddish brown soils with argillic clay horizon (Clayey Typic Haplustalf) whereas Mohgaon (undulating basaltic plateau) pedon had very deep solum, dark reddish brown, clayey soil with more than 50 per cent gravels (Clayey-skeletal Typic Rhodustalf). The sandalwood (natural)-supporting Salaia pedon (foot slope) was characterised by shallow, dark reddish brown to reddish brown soils classified as Clayey Typic Haplustept whereas other pedon (scarp slope) was shallow, very dark greyish brown, Clayey Typic Haplustept. The pH of the soils varied from 5.9 to 6.7 in teak-growing soils but it was 6.8 to 7.0 in sandalwood-growing soils. The organic carbon varied from 1.26 to 2.37 % in teak-growing soils which was higher than the sandalwood-growing soils and it ranged from 0.37 to 1.56 %. Cation exchange capacity ranged from 8.53 to 31.31 cmol(p+)kg-1 and 34.27 to 39.70 cmol(p+)kg-1 in teak and sandalwood-growing soils respectively. The soils had DTPA-Fe (1.68 to 36.04 mg kg-1),Mn (13.64 to 136.7 mg kg-1), Zn (0.60 to 2.60 mg kg-1) and Cu -1 (1.38 to 20.38 mg kg-1) in teak supporting soils. In sandalwood-supporting soils DTPA-Fe ranged from 6.68 to 14.94 mg kg-1, Mn (53.82 to 78.52 mg kg-1), Zn (0.48 to 1.40 mg kg-1)and Cu (7.60 to 10.98 mg kg-1). In general, pH showed negative correlation with micronutrient cations while, clay content and OC had positive correlation with DTPA-Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu. Surface layer of the soil had higher concentration of DTPA-extractable cations.Not Availabl
