Focus on Sample Collection

Network for Sample Collection: Countries from Group A does not follow the Nagoya Protocol or are parties that do not establish procedures or relevant institutions. Thus, there are difficulties in collecting samples and taking them out of the country, and the foundation for local research is also insufficient. INID-K aims to ensure valid and reliable sample collection over the network by supporting the establishment of SOPs that meet GCP and GLP standards and staff training.
