Keeping Liquid Chromatography (LC) Instrumentation Fit-for-Purpose
Key learnings
- Regulatory references
- Tools for ensuring Performance Qualification (PQ) and Verification and best practice guidance on Asset management
- Method transfer from older LC systems
- Benefits of adopting modern LC technologies
Overview
Out-of-Specification (OOS) results in the regulated QC laboratory represent a major source of wasted resources in terms of investigation time, costs, and increased time to market.
The occurrence of OOS results originating in the lab can be significantly reduced by focusing on commonly neglected areas:
- Is the instrumentation being used fit for its intended purpose?
- Is the analytical procedure well understood?
- Are the users appropriately trained?
