ICH Q2(R1) & FDA Aligned

Analytical Method Lifecycle: Development, Validation & Transfer

Analytical method validation is an essential regulatory requirement confirming that an analytical procedure is suitable for its intended purpose. Satvam Research executes rigorous validation protocols covering specificity, linearity, range, accuracy, precision (repeatability and intermediate precision), detection limit (LOD), quantitation limit (LOQ), and robustness on high-resolution Shimadzu HPLC and GC systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Technical & Regulatory Inquiries

What validation parameters are tested under ICH Q2(R1)?

Under ICH Q2(R1), parameters evaluated include Specificity, Linearity, Range, Accuracy, Precision (repeatability & intermediate precision), Limit of Detection (LOD), Limit of Quantitation (LOQ), and Robustness across minor procedural fluctuations.

How does Satvam Research guarantee 21 CFR Part 11 compliance?

All Shimadzu HPLC and GC workstations operate with computerized chromatography software incorporating user access controls, mandatory password aging, unalterable electronic audit trails, and automatic raw data backup on secure local servers.

Can Satvam Research help transfer an existing method from our plant?

Yes. We formulate comparative method transfer protocols where precision, accuracy, and intermediate precision are evaluated concurrently between the transferring lab and our receiving lab in Vapi.
