One-Day Course:
Date to be announced; 8:30am – 5:00pm

Dr. Lawrence A. Wilson, Mariner Analytical, LLC., Wayne, NJ
COURSE DESCRIPTION
AMV:QbD merges the global standard for analytical methods [ICH Q2(R1)] with contemporary thinking on ensuring data quality by thoroughly understanding methods and applications (QbD). Protocol and Report examples are presented. Case studies demonstrate broad applicability. The scientific approach is rigorous, drawing on, and integrating, classical wet and modern instrumental chemistry knowledge. The reasoning is detailed and well documented. Examples are carefully explained. The tone is conversational. The objective is to impart an intuitive understanding of method validation: planning, execution, and documentation, with examples of practices and problems, and practical strategies for addressing both.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Anyone who has a vested interest in data integrity- including the global scientific communities from academia, industry, and government, and producers and consumers of quantitative chemical measurements and the goods and services obtained by their use- may benefit by attending.
Each attendee will receive a copy of Analytical Method Validation: a Quality by Design Approach.
