• Approach and benefits of comparative testing: 
• Developing a risk based test plan for method transfer and verification
 

Overview of the webinar

Analytical methods and procedures should be validated to ensure reliability, consistency and accuracy of analytical data. Compendial methods should be verified to demonstrate the suitability of laboratories to successfully run the method and when methods are transferred between laboratories successful transfer should be demonstrated through testing. In case a laboratory wants to use an alternative method instead of a compendial method, equivalency of the alternative method to the compendial method should to be demonstrated. 
 
Since about 20 years there were no new guidelines from FDA and international agencies on analytical method validation. This has changed now: FDA did introduce a new very important guideline in 2015 entitled: Analytical Procedures and Methods Validation for Drugs and Biologics. Now after a grace period of three years FDA is expected to enforce the guidelines. Similarly USP, the European medical Agency and the WHO introduced chapters, regulations and guidelines on analytical method validation, verification and transfer. These guidelines are heavily enforced by agencies from different parts of the world resulting in warning letters and other enforcement actions

Why should you attend?

Analysts, supervisors and managers in analytical and quality control laboratories are advised to attend this seminar presented by the method validation expert Dr. Ludwig Huber
 
Mainly because attendees will 
• Learn about the regulatory background and requirements for validation of analytical methods and procedures
• Learn how to plan, execute and document development and validation of methods developed in-house
• Understand the principles of verification of compendial methods, transfer of analytical procedures and demonstrating equivalency to compendial and     other approved methods.
• Be able to explain your company’s strategy for method validation, verification, transfer and equivalency testing
• Be able to select test parameters, test conditions and acceptance criteria for different analytical tasks
• Be able to justify and document decisions about revalidation after method changes
• Be able to develop inspection ready documentation during on-going routine operation
• Understanding what questions will be asked during audits and inspections and how to answer them
• Understand current and future industry trends: new/revised USP chapters 1220/1225 “The Analytical Procedure Lifecycle” and Quality by Design       (QbD) principles for method development and validation
