Validating-a-rapid-method-for-pharmaceutical-applications

Validation of rapid methods continues to be an obstacle to greater adoption of these technologies. Some of the benefits of rapid methods are well articulated across industry literature, including the ability to release products much faster as well as intervene faster in the event of contamination in any part of the manufacturing process. Regulatory approval and the challenge of actually validating the rapid method for many applications continue to be viewed as stumbling blocks.

Experiences in implementing and validating a rapid method

Silvia Fragoeiro - Rapid Method webinar

Silvia Fragoeiro of MSD will be speaking about her experiences with implementing a rapid method.  She recently co-authored an article in EPR on the implementation of a rapid method to improve the quality of polyclonal antibodies used for the quality control of antigens produced by MSD for vaccines.  She will be speaking about her experiences in implementing and validating a rapid method for this application.

  7. Stefan Wennmalm says:

    It is not quite clear to me what Dr Miller will speak about, and the presentation of Dr Gonzalez-Garzon, on flow cytometry, actually sounded more fitting for me, but I will at least attend the start of the webinar of Dr Miller.

    with best regards,

    Stefan Wennmalm

    Thanks a lot

    • Matt Cheeseman says:

      Hi Arhs,

      Unfortunately this webinar will not give you a certificate, but it will provide you with practical information and examples of validating a rapid method in the pharmaceutical industry.

      We hope you will find this webinar useful!

  10. R J Shah says:

    This is a good webinar and may be also at a right time. Very recently during one of the presentations on current technologies, I gave a brief about RMM and was bombarded with many questions, some of which I could not respond to. These were pertaining to identification and detection of spores with this technology and how to validate the method. So, I hope the speakers will make an attempt to cover these points too, in case they have not addressed these in their presentation.

    With Regards,

    R J Shah
