ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES &
METHODS VALIDATION
AGENDA
SPONSORS
Analytical Procedures & Methods Validation
The time has never been greater to stay up-to-speed with current regulatory thinking. Between FDA’s interest in releasing guidance’s the last few years on Analytical Procedures & Methods Validation, Bioanalytical Methods Validation and a flurry of global regulations on data integrity, it is critical for you and your company to receive the training you need and avoid regulatory action. FDA, ICH and USP all recognize Analytical Development and Validation as top priority in the drug development process and each have respective guidance, albeit interpretation is left to industry. Not only does this event take a deep dive into how companies comply with regulations, but also showcases how leading companies develop methods, validate procedures and generate data and information that lead to critical business decisions. This conference takes participants through a best practice journey through the development, validation and transfer of analytical methods.
