Objectives

The objectives of this Live Online Training are
  • to offer practical solutions for determining the Validation characteristics
  • to learn how to deal with measurement uncertainty and to understand its impact on analytical methods Validation
  • to understand the qualification of laboratory Equipment as a precondition of reliable analytical testing
  • to discuss the scope of qualification & validation necessary to obtain approval by the Registration Authorities (EMA, FDA, MHRA, etc.)
  • to become familiar with the statistical parameters to be applied
  • to outline the documentation (SOPs, Validation Protocols and Reports, etc.) which you should have in your lab.
  • to provide an outline of the new USP & ICH developments of procedure validation
In order to improve the understanding and practical application of the contents of the lectures, workshops will be part of the training course.

Background

The current ICH guideline Q2(R1) lists all characteristics to be considered during validation and describes the method of determining the various validation characteristics. Reliable analytical results do not only require validated test procedures but also the use of analytical equipment qualified for its intended purpose. In order to obtain regulatory approval, the qualification of all critical laboratory equipment must be performed and documented ensuring “fitness for purpose”. Furthermore, measurement uncertainty is of key importance in analytical instruments qualification as well as in analytical methods validation and transfer. Therefore it is absolutely essential that measurement uncertainty is well understood by everybody who is responsible for generating and evaluating analytical results in GMP controlled laboratories. In addition there are major revisions planned for both ICH Q2 and a new Q14 on Analytical Procedure Development.

Target Group

This Live Online Training Course will be of particular interest to Laboratory Managers, Supervisors and Analysts in pharmaceutical quality control departments who have responsibility for the validation of analytical test procedures. Furthermore, this Course is designed for personnel from Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs and Contract Laboratories.

Technical Details

To participate in an on demand training course or webinar, you do not need any software. The recordings are made available via a streaming server. In general, the recording is provided in MP4 format, which any PC (Microsoft Windows, Apple IOS) or tablet can easily display.

Timing and Duration:

When you register for the on demand Training course or webinar you can decide at what date you want to follow the training course online. For a 1-day training course you will have 2 days in which the stream is available (for 2-day training course 3 days and for a 3-day training course 4 days). Within in this timeframe you can start & stop the stream according to your needs.

In time before the scheduled date (your desired date) you will receive an e-mail from us with a link for direct participation as well as your log-in data.

Training Course Documentation and Certificate:

The presentations will be made available as PDF files via download shortly before the online training course. After the event, you will automatically receive your certificate of participation.
