Preventing Costly Out-of-Specification Investigations

Out-of-Specification (OOS) investigations in Analytical R&D and QA/QC laboratories are costly and time-consuming. Although analytical instrumentation has seen impressive innovations in speed and efficiency over the last 10 years, sample preparation techniques have remained virtually unchanged for the past 75 years. Sample preparation is now reported to be the most time-consuming, labor-intensive and error-prone part of the workflow, with some 50% of OOS errors attributed to sample processing steps and human error. These OOS errors could be prevented by automation.

This Webinar is dedicated to improving the sample preparation process in terms of efficiency and reliability. Dr. Charles Ray will share over 15 years of experience in managing Analytical R&D workflows in leading pharmaceutical companies, such as Bristol-Myers Squibb Co, and also describe the challenges faced in his laboratory. Klaus Fritsch and Joanne Ratcliff, weighing and sample preparation experts from Mettler Toledo, will introduce the latest innovations and technology to cope with these challenges, including Good Weighing PracticeTM and automated weighing/data management.

Who should attend:

  • QC Managers, QA Managers, Quality Consultants
  • Compliance Managers, Laboratory Managers, Production Managers
  • GMP and CMC Consultants, Global Metrology Managers
  • Methods Development and Analytical R&D Scientists, Managers, Directors and Department Heads
  • Validations and Regulatory Scientists; Ref Standard Managers; Methods, Product or Technology Transfer Managers


Key learning objectives:

  • Learn how to tackle 50% of the sources of error that cause costly OOS results and investigations
  • Learn how to prepare samples and standards more efficiently and reduce the time and number of steps by a factor of three
  • Learn how to reduce the variability of your results whilst downscaling the substance and solvent consumption by up to 70%


Presenters:

Dr Charles Ray, Former Associate Director of Analytical R&D at BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB CO.
Dr Klaus Fritsch, Compliance Manager, Laboratory Weighing Technologies, METTLER TOLEDO AG
Dr Joanne Ratcliff, Product Manager, Quantos Dosing Solutions, METTLER TOLEDO AG

 


Weighing and dilution errors are critical in sample preparation applications and are one of the main sources of OOS errors. Automated powder and liquid dispensing can eliminate these risks and improve efficiency in the laboratory.
