What role does regulatory compliance play in time consumption?
Regulatory compliance adds another layer of complexity and time consumption in bioanalytical studies. Adhering to guidelines set by agencies like the FDA or EMA requires meticulous documentation, validation, and quality control, all of which are time-consuming but essential to ensure the reliability and acceptance of the data. For instance, Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) guidelines mandate rigorous documentation and validation procedures, extending the time required for both the analytical process and the subsequent review.
