Analytical Instrument and Equipment Qualification in Quality Laboratories - Webinar By GlobalCompliancePanel 2011

Overview: The analytical instruments and equipment used in GXP laboratories must be calibrated and qualified for use in regulated testing.

This includes quality control labs attached to cGMP facilities, GLP labs supporting animal toxicology studies and GCP labs supporting clinical trials. Additionally, labs supporting EPA studies are also regulated. This seminar will review the regulations that cover each environment and present simple and effective strategies for satisfying the requirements. The impact of USP <1058> on analytical instrument qualification will be reviewed and the newest regulation will be presented in a simple and understandable way. The interaction of calibration, qualification, method validation and equipment maintenance on laboratory compliance and data quality will be discussed.
