Data Validation in Analytical Laboratories Course
Introduction:
By enrolling in this course, you will acquire the skills to establish a methodical and well-structured problem-solving approach and method development. This newfound approach will help you reduce the time and expenses associated with developing and validating capillary GC and HPLC methods. Furthermore, it will enhance the efficiency and quality of your method troubleshooting and the chromatographic data you generate.
The course also encompasses topics such as method diagnostics, troubleshooting, and preventative maintenance. It sheds light on implementing good laboratory practices and emphasizes the interplay between methods, sample preparation, instrumentation, columns, detectors, and quantitation.
Course Objectives:
How to develop a systematic, structured approach to problem solving and method
- Specifics of a step-by-step process for method validation and for building quality assurance into chromatographic methods
- Case studies using practical examples, developed in small groups
- Method diagnostics, troubleshooting, and preventive maintenance
- The interdependence of methods, sample preparation, instrumentation, columns, detectors, and quantitation
- Implementing good laboratory practices (GLP)
- Sample preparation techniques
- Methods development based on the chemistry and chemical properties of the sample analytes and matrice
Who Should Attend?
Laboratory managers, supervisors, chemists, and technicians working in methods development, R&D, manufacturing/process testing, testing services labs, teaching, QA/QC, analysis, or product testing/development. Chemists, biologists, and engineers involved in organic chemicals, petroleum/petrochemicals, fine chemicals, polymers, environmental, pharmaceutical, forensic sciences, molecular/cellular biology, protein chemistry, foods/flavors/fragrances, occupational health and/or product/process safety testing will benefit.
