Operation of Barcoding System for Quality Assurance

Each study is managed using a barcoding system, which prevents mixing-up of samples and omission of tests.

Investigational Drug Storage Room

This storage room is used exclusively for investigational drugs and can be locked (pharmaceuticals for general use are kept totally separate). A record is kept of when staff enter/exit or borrow keys. Both room temperature storage (1-30˚C) and cold storage (2-8˚C) needs can be accommodated (please consult with us if you require other storage conditions.)

The storage temperature can be monitored 24 h/day with a digital data logger. To enable maintenance of the investigational drug temperature in case of a blackout, a system has been put in place whereby the supervisor is contacted and measures are taken accordingly. (P-One Clinic is in the same building as Tokyo Electric Power Co., the largest power utility in Japan, and there are generally no power outages except during power supply inspections.)
