The KCAS Bio – Lyon, France Site Renews Its GLP Compliance Statement, Strengthening Its Support for IND-Enabling Studies Through Bioanalysis and Biomarkers
10.3.2026 12:00:00 CET | Business Wire | Press Release
KCAS Bio today announced that its European site in Lyon, France, has successfully renewed its Statement of Compliance with Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) according to Directive 2004/9/CE (safety tests), confirming the site’s continued ability to deliver GLP-grade bioanalytical methods in support of preclinical studies.
The GLP test facility once again earned a Level of Compliance “A,” reinforcing KCAS Bio’s capability to support critical investigational new drug (IND)-enabling programs. This renewal provides sponsors with continued confidence that their studies are supported by robust, compliant, and regulatory-ready bioanalytical data.
This GLP renewal, combined with the site's ISO 9001:2015 certification, which has been maintained without interruption for more than 15 years, reflects the rigor, reliability, and consistency demonstrated by the scientific teams at the Lyon site in all projects throughout the drug discovery and development continuum.
“Our renewed GLP compliance underscores our unwavering commitment to scientific excellence and regulatory integrity,” said Dr. Mouhssin Oufir, KCAS Bio – Lyon, General Manager and GLP Test Facility Manager (TFM). “For drug development sponsors advancing IND-enabling programs, the quality and credibility of bioanalytical data are critical. Achieving and maintaining a Level ‘A’ compliance status demonstrates that our systems, processes, and people are aligned to deliver the dependable, regulatory-ready data sponsors need to move forward with confidence.”
KCAS Bio’s Lyon site supports Toxicokinetic (TK) studies across a broad range of preclinical species, including mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, minipig, and non-human primates (marmoset and cynomolgus monkey). The site provides bioanalytical expertise across multiple modalities, including large molecules, biologics, small molecules, cell and gene therapies, vaccines, and oligonucleotides.
Through its continued commitment to quality and compliance, KCAS Bio enables sponsors to generate data they can confidently rely on to support sound decision-making throughout both preclinical and clinical development.

Grafana Labs Charts the Path to Agentic Operations with Watchers, Pages, and Agent Observability at ObservabilityCON 202620.10.2026 19:00:00 CEST | Press Release
Grafana Labs, the company behind the open agentic observability cloud, today announced new releases at ObservabilityCON 2026 that move Grafana Cloud towards agentic operations, including the general availability of Agent Observability with OpenTelemetry support and of Assistant Watchers, and previews of Grafana Pages and Grafana Managed Sandboxes. As AI moves into production, teams face two connected challenges: using agents to operate their systems and understanding the behavior of the agents themselves. In the 2026 State of Observability Report, also released this week by Grafana Labs and ETR, a Futurum company, 68% of the 300 IT and engineering leaders surveyed have moved AI for observability past investigation into pilots or production. But confidence depends on the task and readiness varies: 85% report comfort with read-only investigation, compared to 52% for full autonomous remediation. Grafana Labs is building toward a platform with agents that act, allowing each organization to
Grafana Labs Brings Faster Full-text Search and Smarter Data Optimization to Grafana Cloud at ObservabilityCON 202620.10.2026 19:00:00 CEST | Press Release
Grafana Labs, the company behind the open agentic observability cloud, today announced new releases at ObservabilityCON 2026 that help teams manage their telemetry in the AI era, finding the right log line in seconds and keeping only the telemetry worth paying for as AI workloads scale. Major query performance enhancements to Grafana Cloud Logs, built on technology from the company's Logline acquisition, are now generally available, and Adaptive Logs Archive is in public preview. AI is massively increasing telemetry volumes. Coding agents are turning everyone into a developer, so more software is being built, faster, and all of it needs to be watched. The agents add to the load too, since every agent call and tool call emits its own telemetry. Left alone, observability costs grow with every new workload, which makes cost and query optimization non-negotiable for running AI at scale. In the 2026 State of Observability Report, also released this week by Grafana Labs and ETR, a Futurum co
Nissan Technical Centre Europe Adopts Sonatus Fastlane™ Platform to Accelerate Vehicle Test and Validation20.10.2026 18:37:00 CEST | Press Release
Following a successful proof of concept and ongoing engineering development over the past 12 months, Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE), Nissan’s primary R&D hub for its global regions, is expanding its use of the Sonatus® Fastlane™ Platform across its pre-start-of-production (SOP) validation workflow. The platform’s event-driven data collection and root-cause analysis have reduced the time NTCE engineers spend investigating vehicle software issues from two weeks to two days. NTCE plans to make the platform a standard part of validating future vehicle programs, including upcoming models such as the Nissan JUKE. With the Fastlane Platform, engineers have the data they need from the moment a fault occurs. Teams deploy targeted data-collection policies from the cloud, and capture begins automatically when a defined event is detected. Fastlane Insight then correlates that data with NTCE’s specifications, CAN maps, diagnostic databases, and issue history to point engineers to the most li
