  • Methods development and optimization in HPLC, UV-VIS including assessment of peak purity, as examples of the most recent techniques widely used in analytical laboratories
  • Methods Validation & Regulatory submissions: IND/ ANDA/ NDA/ CMC
  • Method Development and validation by examples (Group Exercise): How to systematically develop and validate an assay for a trace component in a very complex sample matrix, develop the schematic template of a Validation Protocol
  • Perspectives of Qualification of various analytical Systems (IQ, OQ, PQ) GAMP, USP

General Information & Course Outline

Learn the Methods Validation concepts with a scientific approach and understand basic elements of analytical method from Quality Systems and measurement, errors and uncertainties. Goal oriented method development with generic, iterative and modular approach to understand validation and establish boundaries of the performance characteristics of analytical method during development. Various stages of the method followed by strategy of design, development and optimization presented. USP, ICH, AOAC guidance will be discussed. Presentation builds on data handling, documentation and regulatory requirements. Extensive guidance for preparing Methods Validation Protocols for the various stages of regulatory submissions, e.g. IND, NDA , CMC. Various aspects of Laboratory Controls, QC procedures, SOPS covering Calibration/ Standardization/ Qualification/ Validation will be included along with Statistical tools, SQC, SPC for monitoring of data . Strategies for the development Stability Indicating assays are included. This course is highly interactive and participative. Attendees are encouraged to be prepared to bring examples of analytical development and validation issues to be discussed during the Workshop.

Who Should Attend

Scientists, managers, R&D personnel, quality assurance and quality control staff and managers, validation coordinators, production and packaging personnel, regulatory/compliance managers, warehouse managers, distribution chain, qualified persons (EMEA), distributors, pharmaceutical, supply and purchasing managers, shippers.
