Learning outcomes

The testing that a pharmaceutical product undergoes throughout its production needs to be reliable and provide accurate and meaningful answers.
This course provides the aspiring QP with the background and technical knowledge to be able to assure through oversight that the testing meets these criteria.

  • Learn about the various key activities conducted by the Quality Control laboratory, including:
    - Sampling and sample management
    - Routine finished product testing
    - Method and cleaning validation testing
    - Storage and analysis of routine stability samples
    - Stability studies to determine product shelf life
    - Evaluation and reporting of results

  • Gain an overview of the key analytical techniques used in the quality control laboratory, including:
    - Chromatography (inc HPLC)
    - Spectroscopy
    - Titrimetric / Gravimetric
    - Electrochemical, e.g. pH

  • Understand the requirements for analytical method development and method validation
    - As outlined in the updated ICH Q2 and new ICH Q14

  • Understand the requirements of Good control Laboratory Practice (GcLP), including:
    - Documentation control
    - Management of Pharmacopeial monographs and methods
    - Management of OOS/OOT/OOE results
    - Data Integrity
