title: Processing of samples.
abstract: The Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Processing Program at Texas A&M University provides a service that encompasses research and pilot scale processing of raw agricultural commodities while conforming to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 40 CFR, Part 160. A general overview of a typical processing study is presented to include preliminary discussions with the study director, sample and protocol receipt, sample processing, fraction shipment, and processing report disposition. Atypical situations are also introduced to stress the need for improved communication and organization within the agrochemical industry. Examples of processed fractions are presented to clarify better the role of the processor in the chemical registration process. To describe the versatility required within this segment of the registration process, a new processing procedure is introduced.
