Objectives

The objective of this Live Online Training is to provide the participants with an overview of the regulatory requirements on the qualification of analytical equipment and to give practical advice on successful approaches to calibration, qualification, validation, and routine monitoring of instrumentation and systems. Key requirements of the important USP General Chapter <1058> will be presented and discussed.
The course will cover the following instruments and systems amongst others: ƒ
  • UV/VIS ƒ
  • NIR ƒ
  • RAMAN ƒ
  • GC

Target Group

This Live Online Training will be of practical value to scientists and engineers in analytical laboratories and contract laboratories in an FDA-/GMP-regulated environment who are responsible for the calibration and qualification of their laboratory equipment.

Technical Requirements

For our webinars, we use Cisco WebEx, one of the leading suppliers of online meetings. At http://www.webex.com/test-meeting.html you can check if your system meets the necessary requirements for the participation at a WebEx meeting and at the same time install the necessary plug-in. Please just enter your name and email address for the test. If the installation is not possible because of your rights for the computer system, please contact your IT department. WebEx is a standard nowadays and the necessary installation is fast and easy.
