What do we do in BioPharma Chemistry Method Development & Validation :

The BioPharma Chemistry method development and validation department establishes analytical methodologies that will be used to test pharmaceutical products. Methods may be established using client provided conditions, analytical conditions observed in the literature, or may be developed from scratch. After methods have been established, they are put through a series of experiments to ensure they perform as intended. These activities are called validations (supporting late phase products) or early phase validations (supporting early phase products).

Center of Focus :

• Method development - team members will establish method conditions that meet the intention of the analytical method
• Method validation - team members perform a series of tests to ensure the method is appropriate for its given function. Tests performed may include precision, accuracy, linearity, specificity, and sensitivity.
• The majority of the methods the group establishes are chromatography based.
