Analytical Laboratory KPIs: Turnaround Time (TAT) Test Completion Rate: Accuracy and Precision: Instrument Uptime: Sample Rejection Rate: Quality Control KPIs: Out-of-Specification (OOS) Rate: Out-of-Trend (OOT) Rate: Deviation Rate: Corrective Action/Preventive Action (CAPA) Effectiveness: Read also: Resource Person: Rajesh Jain
Title and Identification:Including the type of test being performed, batch number, sample ID and date of analysis. Procedure Steps:Clearly outlining each step of the test method and procedures along with the references. Raw Data Entry:Areas to record experimental observations, instrument readings and raw data. Additional data prints like spectra should be attached. Calculations:Sections to perform…
Pre-Validation Requirements: Specificity: Linearity and Range: Accuracy and Precision: Robustness: Limit of Detection & Quantitation: System Suitability: Observations and Deviations: Analytical test method validation is a cornerstone of scientific accuracy and precision. Read also:
These tests are designed to confirm the identity of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and other components in a drug formulation. The identification of pharmaceuticals is a fundamental step in quality control, as it helps prevent errors in manufacturing and ensures that the final product meets the required specifications. Here are some common identification tests…
Prerequisites is usually a checklist which is sent to the Receiving Laboratory which in most of the cases is the Quality control laboratory of the manufacturing. This checklist is prepared by the Department or the team which is involved in the method validation/verification/transfer activity and contains all the things which are required and needed…
Robustness in analytical method validation is a critical aspect of ensuring the reliability and accuracy of analytical results. It refers to the ability of an analytical method to remain unaffected by small, deliberate variations in method parameters while still providing consistent and reliable results. Importance of Robustness in Analytical Method Validation Reliability of Results: The…
Since there is no ICH guideline on Analytical Procedure Development, applicants often report analytical validation results alone and rarely present performance evaluation with analytical development outcomes. This makes regulatory communication ineffective especially when non-conventional (for example, real time release testing) analytical procedures are employed. Additionally, the lack of guidelines precludes the applicant from…
Human performance errors in analytical laboratories are more common than we think! Let’s dive into some of the most common errors that can impact the accuracy and reliability of analytical results. Data entry errors: Accurate data entry is crucial for reliable analysis. Incorrectly entered data can lead to misleading results or flawed analysis. …
