Course description

This classroom-based training course looks at all aspects of method validation from start (initial planning) to finish (on-going tracking of performance statistics), including explanations of each important facet, initial data reduction, design of control charts plus on-going monitoring and appraisal.

Delegates will have a chance to apply the knowledge learned through practical exercises.

The first practical covers method development and will strengthen the thought processes required to build a fundamental robust method. Delegates will consider the five main areas of a method: Sampling and Sample Introduction which has eleven variables to consider, the GC Inlet which has seven variables, the GC Oven which has eight variables, the GC Detector which has nine variables and Data Analysis which has four variables.

The second practical covers using previously acquired data to design a brand-new Shewhart control chart. Delegates will calculate the Mean, SD, % RSD, % Bias and % Expanded Uncertainty and use conditional formatting to ensure 2s & 3s breaches and trends are automatically highlighted.

At the end of the course delegates will have gained knowledge in method validation including planning, experimentation, optimisation, control and method performance and have practical experience in the design of Analytical Quality Control (AQC) charts.

This is a universal course, applicable to all instrumentation and disciplines.

Pre-requisites

This course is aimed at delegates with good knowledge of a base technique e.g. GC (or GC-MS) or LC (or LC-MS) and would like to learn more about method validation.

Additional info

Includes: lunch and refreshments; hard copy of the training manual in colour; certificate of attendance; ability to ask questions / discuss own problems.
