Practical Approach Book
Short Description
With their first-hand knowledge of both the industry and regulating bodies, the authors interpret in detail existing regulations, while discussing the appropriate calculations, parameters and tests. The book thus allows readers to comply with the regulations as well as with the industry demands for speed and low costs.
A practical reference for analytical chemists, the pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutists, QA officers, and public authorities.
Adopting a practical approach, the authors provide a detailed interpretation of the existing regulations (GMP, ICH), while also discussing the appropriate calculations, parameters and tests. The book thus allows readers to validate the analysis of pharmaceutical compounds while complying with both the regulations as well as the industry demands for robustness and cost effectiveness.
Following an introduction to the basic parameters and tests in pharmaceutical validation, including specificity, linearity, range, precision, accuracy, detection and quantitation limits, the text focuses on a life-cycle approach to validation and the integration of validation into the whole analytical quality assurance system. The whole is rounded off with a look at future trends.
With its first-hand knowledge of the industry as well as regulating bodies, this is an invaluable reference for analytical chemists, the pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutists, QA officers, and public authorities.
