Analytical Method Development and Validation: Meeting Regulatory Standards

Method development is followed closely by rigorous analytical method validation. Regulatory agencies demand stringent criteria for method validation to ensure the accuracy and reliability of data generated. We specialize in the complete spectrum of analytical method development, from the initial concept to the comprehensive validation process. Our laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, enabling us to develop and validate methods for a wide range of compounds, from small molecules to biologics.

Analytical Method Transfer: Ensuring Consistency in Manufacturing

Ps5.12 129

Method transfer is the bridge that connects laboratory-developed methods to the manufacturing environment. This process must be executed with precision to maintain the integrity and stability of the methods. Our experts guide you through every step of method transfer, ensuring that the methods seamlessly transition to the manufacturing setting while adhering to the established criteria. This ensures the consistent quality of the product throughout its lifecycle.

Clinical Samples and Assays: Meeting Strict Criteria

The clinical phase of drug development necessitates highly accurate and validated assays. Regulatory bodies demand adherence to stringent criteria in this phase. Biotrial specializes in developing and validating clinical assays, ensuring that they meet the demanding standards set forth by regulatory authorities. Our assays are meticulously designed and validated to provide reliable and meaningful data during clinical trials.

Approaches to Method Transfers

Leveraging our extensive expertise, we collaborate closely with our clients to identify the most effective method transfer strategy. Our approach blends regulatory guidance with a comprehensive risk analysis. The available transfer options generally encompass :

Comparative Testing

This method stands as the most prevalent approach, necessitating the testing of uniform batches of material by both the sending and receiving laboratories. The transfer protocol outlines the specific procedural details, the designated samples, and the acceptance criteria.

Covalidation

In scenarios where GMP testing requires the involvement of multiple laboratories, covalidation becomes the most efficient transfer strategy. In this context, the receiving laboratory becomes an integral part of the validation team and conducts intermediate precision experiments to generate data for assessing reproducibility.

Revalidation

If the originating laboratory is unavailable for comparative testing, revalidation often emerges as the optimal solution. In this case, a risk-based approach guides the determination of which aspects of the original validation need to be re-performed by the receiving laboratory.

Transfer Waiver

There are situations where the need for a transfer can be waived based on the receiving laboratory’s experience (current utilization of the procedure with another product, transfer of personnel, etc.), or if the procedure being transferred is already specified in the USP-NF. In such instances, a verification process should be applied.
