Analytical Method Development
Analytical Method Validation
Validated analytical method only can give accurate results. Validation of analytical method is must for pharmaceutical analytical laboratory.
There is guideline for analytical method validation from ICH & US FDA.

Analytical Method Transfer

There is no definite guidance from USFDA on this subject. Recently USP has come up with a stimuli article on this subject. For more information refer the link below.

Result & Reports
Out-Of-Specification (OOS)
Investigation is must for any product failures to find out the root cause and Corrective And Preventive Action(CAPA). USFDA come up with definite guidance on this subject. This guideline helps to handle OOS data and procedure for investigation. For more information refer the below link.

Out-Of-Trend(OOT) Analytical Results
An analytical result which fall in with in the specification limit but does not follow with in the trend or unexpected result. Normally any analytical result which fall in Out-Of-Specification requires a detailed investigation to find a root cause failure and folowed by a currettive And Preventive Action(CAPA).
Though regulation demands investigation to be completed with in thirty days but most of the cases industries fails to complete the invsetigation with in stipulated period to find root cause.Meanwhile its end up with few more failures. To avoid such things happen the current practice starts investigation when results appear to be ou-of-trend.
The following links help to know more about OOT
Auditing pharmaceuticals quality control Laboratory

Auditing quality control laboratory is must for continuous improvement and regualotory requirements. It helps to keep QC laboratory in high compliance level and maintain best practices through continuos improvement by training and gap analysis.

There is a guideline from US FDA for inspection pharmaceuticals QC laboratory it

includes chemical lab and Micro lab.
