Analytical Methods for Process Validation
Course Description
This course is specifically designed to meet the analytical needs of those individuals working within FDA regulated industries. A key component of pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology product development is to perform process validation and qualification studies. The basic concepts, requirements and statistical methods for process validation are presented.
Attendees
This course is required for all employees who actively work on process sciences, process development and process validation.
Prerequisites
ESDA and DOE are recommended prior to this course.
