In the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring the quality, safety, and efficacy of products is of paramount importance. Quality control (QC) method validation is a key component in achieving these goals, and Protheragen-ING Lab's experienced team of scientists and engineers specializes in validating analytical methods used to test and release pharmaceutical products. Our comprehensive QC method validation services are designed to meet regulatory requirements and ensure the highest standards of pharmaceutical quality.
What is QC method validation?
QC method validation is the process of demonstrating that a particular analytical method is suitable for its intended purpose. This involves a series of rigorous tests to confirm the accuracy, precision, specificity, linearity, range, and robustness of the method. Regulatory agencies such as the FDA, EMA, and ICH provide guidelines that outline the necessary parameters and criteria for method validation.
Our QC method validation services
Analytical Method Development and Optimization
- Custom Method Development: Tailored to the specific needs of your pharmaceutical product.
- Optimization: Fine-tuning existing methods to enhance performance and reliability.
- Transfer and Adaptation: Adapting methods from other sources to fit your unique requirements.
Validation Parameters
- Accuracy: Confirming that the method measures the true concentration of analytes.
- Precision: Assessing repeatability and reproducibility under varied conditions.
- Specificity: Ensuring the method can distinctly identify analytes without interference.
- Linearity: Evaluating the method's ability to produce results proportional to the concentration of analytes.
- Range: Establishing the upper and lower limits within which the method is effective.
- Robustness: Testing the method’s resilience to small changes in experimental conditions.
Validation Protocol Design and Execution
- Protocol Design: Developing detailed protocols in compliance with regulatory guidelines.
- Execution: Carrying out validation studies under strict adherence to protocols.
