PMI® Nutrition International Certified
LabDiet® can save you time and money in
your efforts to meet the requirements of
the FDA's Good Laboratory Practices (GLP)
program. Certified LabDiet® products are
assayed prior to shipment. Each bag is certified
not to exceed maximum concentrations of
key contaminants.
We offer Certified LabDiet® products for
rats, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs,
cats, rabbits and monkeys. Manufactured
under strict supervision in our drug and
estrogen-free ISO 9002 Certified plant in
Richmond, Indiana, all Certified LabDiet®
products provide the Constant Nutrition?control
required for reliable research.
Our stringent certification process begins
with the compilation of multiple samples
from each manufacturing lot to make lot
composite samples. The composite samples
are analyzed for heavy metals, aflatoxins,
chlorinated hydrocarbons, organophosphates
and specified nutrients. A portion of each
composite sample is stored at 0?F for one
year in case a need for additional analyses
arises up at a later date.
Once a composite sample has been proven
to meet our specifications, the bags in
that manufacturing lot are officially certified
and released for shipment. You receive a
certificate with each bag indicating the
actual contaminant concentrations.
Because Certified LabDiet® is sampled and
analyzed before shipment, you are able to
cut costs in three ways:
1. You meet GLP standards without the costs
of setting up in-house testing facilities.
2. You save time and labor that would be
required to collect samples, perform the
necessary tests and wait for results.
3. You never purchase feed that may have
to be discarded due to excessive contamination.
