Determining a Rational HPLC/UHPLC Selectivity Starting Point
Selectivity in a liquid chromatography (LC) separation is the ability to separate a molecule from other similarly structured compounds, such as conformational, positional, and optical isomers. Columns do this in a variety of ways that depend on the structural differences between the key target molecules. This is most commonly done by tailoring the column’s stationary phase so that the different target molec..
Developing an Effective CAPA Management and Root Cause Analysis System
In order to solve problems, every organization must know how to conduct an effective investigation, identify root causes, and implement workable corrective action in a timely manner. An effective CAPA process requires training internal investigators, who can also coach others in the organization, to employ critical thinking. The process must provide a common model and language within the organization, which..

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning for Computer Systems Regulated by FDA
FDA guidelines are very specific in terms of how computer systems are to be managed, and each company should have a specific strategy and methodology, along with a set of rigorous tactical processes and procedures that prescribe how Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning should be carried out. This is necessary to protect against the onslaught of threats and attacks, both from natural disasters ..
Effective and Practical use of FMEA for Risk-Based Approach to Computer Systems Validation
Validation of computer systems is a regulatory requirement within the life sciences. "How much to validate" is one of the biggest challenges validation teams face. The struggle to balance time and available resources with compliance requirements often leads to insufficient testing and/or project overruns, which in turn can lead to significant regulatory and safety risks. One way to avoid these issues is to ..
Equipment Validation, Tracking, Calibration and Preventive Maintenance
FDA and EU regulations require that firms have a program for the calibration and maintenance of test and measurement equipment. The program must include intervals, scheduling, specific procedures, limits of accuracy/precision, and remedial action in the event that the equipment does not meet established requirements. Prior to use, however, this equipment must be validated to make sure it produces a product ..

False Claims Act (or Whistleblower Act) and Hospital Fraud
A whistleblower or qui tam action can provide financial rewards to individuals who provide information that a company, hospital, or individual has defrauded the government. The primary statutes under which this relief may be sought are the federal and state False Claims Acts (“FCAs”). State and federal governments pay hundreds of billions of dollars each year for pharmaceutical drugs, medical devices, hospi..
FDA and Management Responsibility for Social Media Use
The use or participation in social media can lead to some surprising outcomes with the FDA. The sweeping statutory definition of “labeling” covers the use of information that appears in social media. There are several platforms that can present information either by you or a third-party, all of which can become an action by the FDA against the management’s actions or inactions. Firms should develop and impl..
FDA Compliance and Clinical Trial Computer System Validation
The FDA governs the computer systems used to collect, analyze, transfer and report data that is in support of human clinical trials required for drug approval. FDA oversight is based on a Predicate Rule, known as “Good Clinical Practices,” or simply, “GCPs.” Computer systems subject to GCP requirements must be thoroughly and appropriately validated in accordance with FDA’s guidance on computer system valida..
FDA Compliance and GAMP V Computer System Classification
