One-Day Course
Sunday, November 12; 8:30am – 5:00pm
Ms. Kim Huynh-Ba, Pharmalytik Consulting, Newark, DE
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Analytical laboratories play key roles in the pharmaceutical industry. The generation of data that ensure its reliability and allow for post-analysis verification of its authenticity is critical to the drug development process; thus, keeping the analytical method in compliance with FDA, ICH and USP regulations is a challenge for analytical scientists to distinguish qualification expectations of validation, verification, and transfer through product lifecycle. This course will review the current regulations from FDA, ICH, and USP, and various aspects of validation throughout development phases of drug development. This is also critical to build a solid foundation to support analytical lifecycle development by establishing the analytical target profile and critical analytical attributes. It will also discuss change strategies to analytical procedures. Participants are expected to share their experiences and discuss relevant lab practices to keep the method in compliance.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Analytical chemists, GMP staff scientists, supervisors, directors, investigators in QC lab, R&D, production, manufacturing, contract labs, quality assurance, regulatory affairs, laboratory auditors, lab inspectors, data reviewers, lab investigators. This course is not intended for microbiologists and the discussion focuses primarily on separation sciences.
