Overview: Analytical methods should be validated to ensure reliability, consistency and accuracy of analytical data.
Method validation has been a requirement of FDA and international regulations and accreditation standards such as ISO 17025 since many years. Most often the theory is well understood but there are many questions when validation experiments are designed, conducted, and documented. This seminar will provide a good understanding on how to effectively prepare, conducts and document method validation experiments for FDA and ISO 17025 compliance.
