Course Description
Learn about a systematic approach to the development of analytical methods designed to improve the performance of those methods during application across their lifecycle. Identifying critical method performance characteristics and developing understanding of the impact of method parameters allows demonstration that a method is capable of meeting the requirements necessary for optimal performance. This course will use real life case studies to show how this approach results in consistent quality performance during routine application, with fewer method-related Out of Specification results and improved method transfer.
Target Audience
Chemists, supervisors, managers or directors from pharmaceutical (human and veterinary), generic or OTC companies or contract research organizations who are responsible for development, validation, verification or transfer of analytical methods, and regulatory affairs/CMC personnel responsible for filings involving analytical methods.
