Validation of HPLC/UPLC Methodologies
30 Jan 2023.
Online Course given by John C. Fetzer and Certificate issued by by Compliance4All
(www.compliance4all.com) via NetZealous LLC. Product ID: 502968
Course Description
Instrumental liquid chromatography, either as HPLC or UPLC, are common techniques in laboratories that are widely used to determine purity, the impurities, and the degradation products of pharmaceuticals. The focus of most validation work is on the methodology, the standard operating procedure (SOP). But validation of the instrumentation and other associated items of column, solvents, and other reagents and chemicals is also an area of focus in an audit.
For Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) or for ISO 17025 compliance, such methods must meet certain requirements. This presentation will cover the key elements to have a compliant method.
Areas Covered in the Session:
- Instrument validation
- The pumping system
- The column
- The detection system
- The Data System
Method validation
- Accuracy
- Precision and the various measures of precision (repeatability, reproducibility, ruggedness, robustness)
- Limits of detection and quantitation, linearity
- Selectivity, interferences, and specificity
- Sensitivity
- Solution stability
PM2 Essentials Certification (Project Management Methodology)
27 Oct 2021
This Project Management Methodology Certificate was awarded by the Interoperability Academy via the European Commission.
Brussels - Belgium.
The PM² Essentials Certification is a Level-2 certification and a popular entry point to the world of PM² Certifications. It is designed to confirm candidates’ understanding of key concepts of the PM² Methodology. The candidate who has successfully passed the the certification exam knows aspects on the what, when, who and how the PM² Methodology should be implemented. For candidates to achieve the certification they must demonstrate their understanding of the PM² concepts (in the 5 areas of Governance, Lifecycle, Processes, Artefacts and Mindsets) in an adequate level so that they will be able to work effectively as a member of a project team of a PM² project.
