<h4>Introduction&nbsp;</h4>Millions of tests, measurements and examinations are made every day in thousands of laboratories around the world. There are innumerable reasons underpinning them, for example: as a way of valuing goods for trade purposes; supporting healthcare and construction; checking the quality and safety of food and feed; and in forensic analysis and environmental monitoring. Virtually every aspect of society is supported in some way by analytical work.&nbsp;The cost of carrying out these measurements is high and additional costs may arise from decisions made on the basis of the results. For example, tests showing food to be unfit for consumption may result in compensation claims. In addition, tests confirming the presence of banned drugs could result in fines or imprisonment. Clearly it is important to make a correct measurement and be able to show that the result is correct.<h4>The validation/verification process</h4>Most analysts know that method validation/verification is important, but exactly why, how and when it should be done is not always clear.&nbsp;Method validation/verification is the process whereby the laboratory demonstrates whether or not a method is ‘fit for purpose’ (Fig. 1). This means that the tests carried out should be appropriate with respect to uncertainty, cost, time etc. The final report should present analytical data in such a way that the customer can, readily, interpret it and draw appropriate conclusions.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Eurachem_The_validation_verification_82742c1029.jpg" alt="Eurachem: Fig. 1. The method validation/verification process. The laboratory ‘translates’ the customer’s problem into an analytical requirement, i.e. the method performance required to solve the problem. Method validation/verification includes a stage where various performance characteristics are evaluated and then compared with analytical requirements." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Eurachem_The_validation_verification_82742c1029.jpg 124w," sizes="100vw" width="821" height="1029"><h4>The Eurachem Guide&nbsp;</h4>A <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/products/2242">Guide from Eurachem</a> (Fig. 2) gives practical advice on how method validation/verification can be accomplished. The Guide and its supplements [1-4]:&nbsp;<ul><li>Introduce the basic concepts related to method validation and method verification;&nbsp;</li><li>Indicate how to plan, record and report validation and verification studies to best support the statement of ‘fitness for purpose’;&nbsp;</li><li>Provide key definitions and the rationale behind the experiments for assessing the various performance characteristics and related topics (Fig. 3);&nbsp;</li><li>Include quick reference tables that suggest experiments together with the necessary statistical calculations for evaluation and reporting each performance characteristic;&nbsp;</li><li>Provide support to the analyst on how to make the best use of method validation data for setting up an internal quality control plan.</li></ul><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Eurachem_The_Fitness_for_Purpose_of_Analytical_Methods_95fc1a74e3.jpg" alt="Eurachem: Fig. 2. The Eurachem Guide is available free of charge at www.eurachem.org." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Eurachem_The_Fitness_for_Purpose_of_Analytical_Methods_95fc1a74e3.jpg 135w," sizes="100vw" width="1062" height="1231"><h4>How should methods be validated/verified?</h4>The guide focuses on a single-laboratory approach to method validation/verification and gives guidance on planning, carrying out and reporting method validation and verification studies. Any method validation or verification study will require the laboratory to investigate several performance characteristics:<ul><li>Precision<ul><li>Repeatability&nbsp;</li><li>Intermediate precision</li></ul></li><li>Trueness</li><li>Selectivity</li><li>Working range</li><li>Analytical sensitivity</li><li>Limit of detection</li><li>Limit of quantification</li><li>Ruggedness</li></ul>Exactly which characteristics are studied will depend on the analytical application. Verification of the performance of a standard method requires substantially less work than validation of a method developed in-house. Legislative/sectoral requirements must also be considered.&nbsp;Sampling and subsampling can be part of the measurement or testing procedure and must, in those cases, be validated.

The importance of being fit for purpose

Reversed phase column chromatography is commonplace in quality assessment of drugs. This usually involves the use of aqueous buffers, acetonitrile and/ or methanol as a mobile phase and commonly used UV detection. But what happens when excipients and drugs don&#39;t contain a chromophore? These samples can&#39;t be identified and quantified by UV detection. Our answer is Charged Aerosol Detection (CAD), which is an excellent alternative and works as a universal detector for almost all non-volatile and many semi-volatile compounds.
Please join this webinar to hear about the work of our guest speaker, Ulrike Holzgrabe, from the department of Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry at University of Wuerzburg. In her presentation, she will share her experience of using charged aerosol detection as an alternative in the quality assessment of drugs.
CAD has the flexibility and performance for analytical R&amp;D, and the simplicity and reproducibility needed for manufacturing QA/QC and can be used for the analysis of pharmaceuticals in both large and small molecules. It is a reliable and an easy-to-use solution to quantify novel compounds without the need for compound specific calibration and is a key technology in our high throughput library purification platform.
Learn how CAD can be applied in your work with tips, tricks, pointers, and expert advice.

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) began its development in 1997 with the publication of “Molecular Imaging of Biological Samples: Localization of Peptides and Proteins Using MALDI-TOF MS” by Richard Caprioli et al. in Analytical Chemistry. Over the past 25 years, there have been numerous developments in terms of samples preparation, matrix application, and instrumentation that have enabled increases in figures of merit related to MSI.
Each improvement is accompanied by an increase in method complexity and price tag, while many users are seeking an entry-level instrument to perform simpler experiments that still produce spatially resolved mass data.
To this end, we have tested a benchtop Shimadzu MALDI-8020 capable of MALDI MSI and employed simpler sample preparation techniques.
As an introduction to MSI, we share the optimization of relevant parameters and matrices as well as the results of relevant imaging experiments.

HPLC analysis is an important technique used in most quality control or analytical laboratories. Since some critical decisions about product batches are made based on the results of these analyses, they must be correct and reliable.
To ensure accurate results are obtained at the end of the process, it is equally important to ensure that all steps in the process, including the initial weighing of samples and preparing the required concentrations, are carefully executed and that all relevant data is recorded correctly.
Any errors in weighing data or calculations or even incomplete metadata in the initial stages will be propagated downstream, leading to errors in the final result. The implications of bad decisions based on incorrect analytical results could be disastrous. 
Join our webinar with METTLER TOLEDO and Agilent Technologies experts and learn how to ensure seamless, error-free data flow from balance to analytical results.
