Principles of HPLC Validation

Designed for analysts, managers, and QA professionals, this course walks you through the essential principles and steps of HPLC method validation. You’ll learn how to approach validation as a structured process, understand key regulatory expectations, select and test critical parameters, avoid common pitfalls, and apply Quality by Design concepts to create methods that are easier to validate and maintain.

    Course Description

    Although the focus is on pharmaceuticals, the principles apply to most quantitative HPLC methods, such as environmental or general chemical analyses.

      This course is designed for laboratory personnel responsible for validating HPLC methods. It will also be useful for managers and quality assurance staff involved in the method validation process. For workers who develop, but do not validate methods, this class will give insight into how to develop methods that will be easier to validate. No prior experience is needed, although those with some laboratory experience will certainly benefit more than those with no experience at all.
