Senior Director for Dietary Supplement and Tobacco Services, Tara Lin Couch, Ph.D. participated in a discussion with other industry leaders on best practices for contract laboratories in a recent Natural Products Insider.

Couch and her industry colleagues share thoughts on how to convey expectations and develop agreements.
