Method Validation for Non-Specialists

2 days|Delivered on request

Method Validation for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through root cause analysis and reagent management without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because quality managers are often appointed from the bench without management training, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with supplier qualification, sample handling and chain of custody and equipment calibration in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

  • Explain supplier qualification to someone who does not do the work, measured against ISO 9001
  • Review sample handling and chain of custody and say plainly whether it is working
  • Make a decision about equipment calibration without waiting for a specialist
  • Put proficiency testing on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
