Seminar DescriptionAgendaSpeakerPricingVenue
Analytical method validation is an important activity in support of applications to market a new drug or generic drug product. This workshop will present best practices for method validation during early-stage development as well as regulatory expectations for early and late-stage clinical studies. Method validation for drug substances, drug products, cleaning validation/verification and bioanalytical analysis will be covered. Experimental approaches for key validation parameters will be discussed, and the taught material will be supported by practical exercises.

In addition to the practical aspects of method validation, a logical approach to setting defendable acceptance criteria will be described. Best practices for writing methods and validation protocols will be discussed, including actions to reduce the chances of validation failure and approaches to addressing failures if they occur.


Course Objectives:

By the end of the workshop attendees will:

  • Be familiar with regulatory guidance on analytical method validation
  • Understand how to plan and execute a phase-appropriate method validation study
  • Know how to approach setting method validation acceptance criteria
  • Understand the importance of effective method and method validation documentation
  • Know how to approach setting system suitability criteria
  • Understand the importance of verifying compendial methods and know how to approach this activity
  • Be familiar with allowable changes to method conditions for compendial chromatographic procedures

    Mark Powell Scientific Limited


    Dr. Mark Powell set up Mark Powell Scientific Limited to provide technical support for pre-clinical drug development, which may involve short-term help with specific problems or management of the analytical aspects of a development project, for new or existing compounds, as part of a multi-disciplinary team. He has an expertise in analytical method development and validation (including assay of impurities), design of stability testing studies and auditing of contract laboratories. Mark is also an experienced quality auditor, and can perform GMP audits of contract laboratories, including evaluation of compliance with data integrity requirements.

    He also provides training services, which are accredited by the UK’s vocational skills agency, Cogent SSC, and are designed to ensure that analysts have the necessary theoretical and practical skills to perform their jobs competently. As well as courses in instrumental chemical analysis, He also provides training in basic laboratory skills and technical writing (analytical methods, SOPs and technical reports). Mark has recently been working with Spectroscopy Magazine to write and deliver an on-line training course in UV spectroscopy and has also been asked to provide training on behalf of the chromatography consumable company Hichrom.
