Biomedical Test Materials Program: Production Methods and Safety Manual

摘要

The Fish Oil Biomedical Test Materials Program is a cooperative effort that was established by a Memorandum of Understanding between the National Institutes of Health; the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration; and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-Department of Commerce. The program is designed to provide a long-term, consistent supply of quality assured/quality-controlled test materials to researchers in order to facilitate the evaluation of the role that n-3 fatty acids play in health and disease. The production facility is located within the National Marine Fisheries Service, Charleston Laboratory. The purpose of the operator's manual is to provide a set of instructions for properly and safely operating the production equipment, storing the test materials produced, and disposing of wastes generated. Maintenance of the facility and equipment are also addressed.
