VALIDATION OF ANALYTICAL METHODS

The analytical method plays a prominent role in the quality control of various pharmaceutical formulations as well as in many laboratory procedures. Validation of analytical techniques is an important process for drug discovery and active pharmaceutical products (API) to ensure the quality and accuracy of results. This article demonstrates the importance of validation of analytical methods and their regulatory guidelines in compliance with the different regulatory agencies such as the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), ICH (International Council of Harmonization), EMA (European Medicines Agency), etc. The performance and reliability of analytical methods depend on various parameters to provide accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and specificity. This review also deals with the development of analytical methods in the real world of material characterization, pharmaceutical quality control, clinical diagnostics, food safety, etc. The validation of analytical methods is applied to specific techniques that are used for the assessment of products for their qualitative and quantitative analysis [41,42]. The method validation consists of guidelines, parameters, and methodologies that are required to study the analytical problem in terms of quality and accuracy. This is to ensure that the product is suitable to use for the specific purpose [42]. Such methods are developed to analyze particular properties of products against predetermined standards of acceptance. Validation of analytical methods is a very critical process that can be used in the early clinical phase for drug development, good manufacturing practices (GMP), and active pharmaceutical products. In the development of drugs and related products, it involves the evaluation of precise assays, quantitative tests for impurity content, and active ingredient analysis as per the regulatory guidelines [43]. The analytical method development has enhanced accuracy and reduced the cost and time for analysis, becoming an integral part of regulatory organizations [4].

The regulatory standards are used for the validation of analytical methods, quality assessment, and to ensure the efficacy and safety of products prior to approval.
