Finally, the method must be shown to be practical for use as a routine monitoring method. The method must use commercially available reagents, standards, and equipment. The method must not be too complex or poorly described such that an experienced analytical chemist could not understand or perform the method. Steps of the procedure that are critical should be highlighted in the method so that they can be appropriately controlled. The method must be short enough so that it can be used... 

Check reagents, standards and reference materials to ensure that adequate stocks of the correct grades are available. Where reagents and quality control samples require preparation, this may need to be done in advance. If stocks of prepared reagents already exist, these must be checked to ensure that they are still usable. All reagents should be well-labelled. 

Reagents, standards, and controls nsed in the assay and instructions on their preparation, storage, and shelf life. 

Qualification of the laboratory. Qualification of the laboratory includes qualifying analysts initially by demonstrating their proficiency at preparing the necessary reagents, standards, and controls. Analyst qualification is necessary for each type of bacterial endotoxin analysis test prior to performance of any testing on actual samples. 

The HPMC was manufactured by Dow Chemicals (USA) as Methocel K15M and Methocel 100 grades. All solutes were of laboratory reagent standard obtained from British Drug Houses (Poole, UK) and all drugs were BP standard or better. 

While validating a production process, several steps were listed as they pertained to each of the components of manufacturing equipment, process conditions, personnel, and so forth. These key elements multiply rapidly when it comes to analytical methods validation. Take, for example, HPLC — the most commonly used method of analysis. A typical analytical method would involve use of columns, pumps, heaters, detectors, controllers, samplers, sensors, recorders, computers, reagents, standards, and operators — put together as a system. Each of these components and systems needs independent validation, followed by a validation of the system. Note that when this equipment is used to manufacture a product such a therapeutic proteins wherein HPLC techniques are used for the purification purpose, then all additional requirements of a manufacturing system also apply, including, but not limited to, the requirement that the equipment be of a sanitary kind. This limits the choice for manufacturers, and these considerations should be taken into account in the first selection of equipment. 

Reagents and standards—inventory all reagents, standards, and supplies to determine acceptability with method requirements and specifications. 

Reagents. Standards were prepared with 15 micron Mln-U-Sil quartz. The hydrochloric acid and isopropanol were analytical reagent grade. A 0.5% Aerosol OT solution was prepared by diluting a commercially prepared 25% Aerosol OT solution. Water was deionized and glass distilled. Filters used for redeposition were MSA, 0.5 micron, 37mm, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), membrane filters. The internal reflecting plate (crystal) was a Wilks and Barnes KRS-5 crystal, 52.5 x 20 x 2mm, with 45° ends. 

The analytical uses of freeze-drying can be classified into three broad categories according to target reagents, standards or samples. This section describes the principal applications of analytical freeze-drying, particularly in relation to solid samples some mention of liquid samples is also made as serum and urine are among those most frequently used to develop analytical standards. 

At this stage in the development of a V-TR AP method, the method is expected to meet the requirements of the proposed testing laboratory. The method should be efficient and practical reagents, standards, and necessary equipment should be readily available to the testing laboratory. In addition, the validation documentation should be completed and approved along with a background method development report. 

Transfer experiments are not initiated until the protocol is reviewed and approved by all parties involved. The experiments must be carefully planned to ensure that the proper resources, testing reagents, standards, and laboratory equipment are available. Because transfer experiments are considered a cGMP activity, all instrumentation utilized must be calibrated and qualified the experiments and data obtained must be properly documented and reviewed.

The requirements of scale-up and production are very different from those in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery and may lead to a very different approach to chemistry. The number of steps in the synthesis is a major determinant of cost, as are, of course, the costs of starting materials and reagents. Standard preliminary targets are for 90% hplc yields in each stage, with purification by crystallisation or possibly distillation in some cases chromatographic purification on a production scale, which may be in ton quantities, is very rare. 

All reagents, standards, and instrumentation must be referenced and appropriate documentation for standard and instrument calibrations available for examination. 

The capacity for testing has to be addressed. For example, when an ELISA may be used on a large scale (kit), then sufficient reagents, standard sera, conjugates (batches), and antigen preparations must be available. Research leading to suc-... 

Standard Reference Material See certified reference material, standard solution A solution whose composition is known by virtue of the way that it was made from a reagent of known purity or by virtue of its reaction with a known quantity of a standard reagent, standard state The standard state of a solute is 1 M and the standard state of a gas is 1 bar. Pure solids and liquids are considered to be in their standard states. In equilibrium constants, dimensionless concentrations are expressed as a ratio of the concentration of each species to its concentration in its standard state.
