PREFACE
For pharmaceutical manufacturers to achieve commercial production of safe and
effective medications requires the generation of a vast amount of reliable data
duringthedevelopmentofeachproduct.Toensurethatreliabledataaregenerated
in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs), all analyt-
ical activities involved in the process need to follow Good Analytical Practices
(GAPs).GAPscanbeconsideredastheculminationofathree-prongedapproach
todatagenerationandmanagement:methodvalidation,calibratedinstrument,and
training.Therequirementforthegenerationofreliabledataisveryclearlyrepre-
sented in the front cover design, where the three strong pillars represent method
validation, calibrated instrument, and training, respectively.
Thisbookisdesignedtocovertwoofthethreepillarsofdatageneration.The
chapters are written with a unique practical approach to method validation and
instrument performance verification. Each chapter begins with general require-
mentsandisfollowedbythestrategiesandstepstakentoperformtheseactivities.
The chapter ends with the author sharing important practical problems and their
solutions with the reader. I encourage you to share your experience with us, too.
If you have observations or problem solutions, please do not hesitate to email
them to me at chung chow chan@cvg.ca.With the support of the Calibration &
Validation Group (CVG) in Canada, I have set up a technical solution-sharing
page at the Web site www.cvg.ca. The third pillar, training, is best left to indi-
vidualorganizations,asitwillbeindividualizedaccordingtoeachorganization’s
strategy and culture.

the pharmaceutical industry. It also provides an insight into quality systems that
needtobebuiltintothefundamentalactivitiesofthediscoveryanddevelopment
processes. Chapters 2 to 5 provide guidance and share practical information for
validation of common analytical methods (e.g., potency, related substances, and
dissolutiontesting).Methodvalidationforpharmaceuticalexcipients,heavymet-
als, and bioanalysis are discussed in Chapters 6 to 8.
Theinstrumentperformanceverificationsectionofthebookprovidesunbiased
information on the principles involved in verifying the performance of instru-
mentsthatareusedforthegenerationofreliabledataincompliancewithcGMPs.
The reader is given different approaches to the successful verification of instru-
ment performance. The choice of which approach to implement is left to the
reader based on the needs of the laboratory. Chapters 9 to 15 provide infor-
mation on common analytical instruments used in the development laboratory
(e.g., HPLC, UV–Vis spectrophotometers, and pH meters). Chapter 13 provides
a detailed discussion of the LC-MS system, which is fast becoming a standard
analyticallaboratoryinstrument.Sinceagreatportionofanalyticaldatafromthe
drug development process comes from stability studies, Chapter 16 is included
to provide guidance to ensure proper environmental chamber qualification.
Computers have become a central part of the analytical laboratory. Therefore,
wehavededicatedthelasttwochapterstoanintroductiontothisfieldofcomputer
system and software validation. Chapter 17 guides quality assurance managers,
lab managers, information technology personnel, and users of equipment, hard-
ware, and software through the entire qualification and validation process, from
writing specifications and vendor qualification to installation and to both initial
and ongoing operations. Chapter 18 is an in-depth discussion of the approaches
to validation of Excel spreadsheets, one of the most commonly used computer
programs for automatic or semiautomatic calculation and visualization of data.

and the management teams of Eli Lilly & Company, GlaxoSmithKline Canada,

contributed to the preparation of this book. In addition, I want to acknowledge
Herman Lam for the design of the front cover, which clearly depicts the cGMP
requirements for data generation.

1.1 INTRODUCTION
Pharmaceutical product development consists of a series of logical and system-
atic processes. When successful, the final outcome is a commercially available
dosage form. However, this process can become a long and complicated pro-
cess if any of the steps lose their focus. The industry has undergone many
changes over the years to increase focus on efficiency and efficacy of the devel-
opment process. The overall cycle of pharmaceutical product development is
summarized in Figure 1.1. The clinical study of drug development is the most
obvious and best known to laypersons and scientists. However, many associated
behind-the-sceneactivitiesarealsoactivelypursuedinaparallelandtimelyman-
ner to ensure the success of pharmaceutical product development. Clinical and
commercial success cannot be achieved without successful completion of these
other activities. It is important to note that the clinical phase boxes in Figure 1.1
may not be aligned exactly chronologically with other development activities.
