Science Of Analytical Method Validation

By Kaira G. Tafoya


Validation is a systematic approach to gathering and analyzing sufficient data which will give reasonable assurance (documented evidence), based upon scientific judgment, that a process, when operating within specified parameters, will consistently produce results within predetermined specifications. It is an action of proving, in accordance with the principles of good manufacturing practice, that any procedure, process, equipment, material, activity, or system actually leads to the expected result. It is a documented evidence which provides a high degree of assurance that a specific process will consistently produce a product meeting its predetermined specifications and quality attributes and characteristics. It is used as obtaining and documenting evidence to demonstrate that a method can be relied upon to produce the intended result within defined limits.

The minimum requirements of method validation are discussed below. In the case of methods developed from scratch in-house a much more comprehensive approach covering the other parameters described below will be required. Few laboratories, however, take this approach and the norm is to adopt and perhaps slightly modify standard methods.

Limit of detection: Limit of detection (LOD) is defined as the lowest concentration of an analyte in a sample that can be distinguished from a blank. It is expressed as a concentration at a certain specified signal-to-noise ratio, usually two-or three to one. Where measurements are made at low analyte level e.g. in trace analysis, it is important to know what is the lowest concentration of the analyte that can be confidently detected by the method. as a method is used at lower and lower levels the precision deteriorates. Effectively the measurement becomes subject to increasing 'noise'. The limit of detection is the point at which, with a defined probability, it becomes possible to distinguish signal from noise. Normally 95% probability, is the relevant level.

There are a few vital components of Validation like Increased throughput, lessening in dismissals and adjusting, diminishment in utility expenses, shirking of capital consumptions, less grievances about procedure related disappointments, decreased testing in-procedure and in completed products, more quick and solid start-up of new gear, less demanding scale-up from advancement work, less demanding support of hardware, enhanced worker familiarity with procedures and more fast mechanization.

A gathering of specialists would have created standard systems synergistic-ally. In principle this improvement ought to incorporate thought of the greater part of the important parts of acceptance. Then again, the obligation stays with the client to guarantee that the acceptance documentation is finished to the needs. Regardless of the fact that the approval is finished, client needs to guarantee that it sets up that the system is fit for the reason proposed for the technique.
