Dear Rick,

I don't know any precise regulation which would command for separate laboratories to test betalactams and non-betalactams (does someone known it in the Forum?).

However, strict precautions should be established and followed to avoid any retro-contamination of the non-betalactam production area with betalactam traces that could be collected in the laboratory.

For potent drug the risk is different in nature : in addition to the risk retro-contamination risk, laboratory operators should not be exposed to these products which means that safety "containment" precautions should be established. If not possible a dedicated lab could be needed.

Other opinions / inputs from the Forum ?
