Course: Optimization of Pharmacopeia Methods in QC

Phenomenex Training Courses 2025: Optimization of Pharmacopeia Methods in QC

Course Summary

Validated methods ensure the quality of your analytical results, but often prevent the use of innovative column technologies. In this seminar, we will show you how to optimise QC methods within the scope of the allowed adjustments according to the European and US Pharmacopeia. We pay special attention to the conditions under which this is possible without a complete revalidation of the method.
