LC Method Validation - Automated Method Validation Software
Works with Waters® and Agilent LC Systems controlled by:
  • Waters Empower (1 and 2) Chromatography Data Software(CDS)
  • Varian® Galaxie® CDS
PhRMA’s Analytical Technical Group recommends a phased approach to analytical method validation in which early phase validation efforts are done upstream on a reduced set of validation elements appropriate to the stage of development.
Early Phase Method Validation (Characterization)
Fusion Method Validation (FMV) offers Early Phase experiments structured for internal consumption to support and guide method development.
  • Analytical Capability and System Suitability
  • Specificity
  • Filter Validation
  • Accuracy
  • Linearity and Range
  • LOQ,LOD
  • Repeatability* (intra-assay precision)
  • Sample Solution Stability (stability for a given time period under prescribed conditions)
Final Phase Method Validation (FDA and ICH Submittal Quality)
FMV offers Final Phase experiments structured with the rigor and regulatory compliance overlay required of results that may be exported outside the lab.
  • Analytical Capability and System Suitability
  • Specificity
  • Accuracy/Linearity and Range/Repeatability – Combined Design (ICH-Q2A states that Accuracy, Linearity, and Repeatability can be done together as a single combined experiment)
  • LOQ, LOD
  • Intermediate Precision and Reproducibility (USP Ruggedness)
  • Robustness
Pharma Customer Benchmarking

To benchmark time savings using FMV versus current practice, a senior analytical chemist at an international pharmaceutical customer facility used FMV to carry out all Early Phase and Final Phase method validation experiments (except Robustness, which was done subsequently at a different lab). The entire method validation exercise took less than 12 hours using Fusion AE.

Work records showed that on average - from SOP planning and experiment design construction to final reporting - using “current practice” the same work would have required more than two weeks of analyst time.
