Covers selection, development, qualification, and validation of analytical methods used to detect cleaning residues, including method specificity, sensitivity, LOD and LOQ, accuracy, precision, recovery, analytical capability at the acceptance limit, and lifecycle management of cleaning validation methods.
Cleaning validation requires analytical evidence capable of demonstrating that product residues, cleaning-agent residues, and other relevant contaminants have been reduced to scientifically justified levels. Selecting an analytical method is therefore not simply a laboratory decision based on available instruments. It…
Analytical methods used for cleaning validation must be capable of detecting and, when required, quantifying residues at concentrations relevant to the established cleaning acceptance criteria. Analytical sensitivity is therefore not simply an instrument specification. It is a characteristic of the…
Cleaning-validation decisions depend on analytical results that can reliably distinguish acceptable residue levels from unacceptable carryover. After an analytical technology has been selected and the required sensitivity has been defined, the complete analytical procedure must be demonstrated to perform appropriately…
