‼️Good practices for pharmaceutical quality control laboratories‼️Part V 💠Technical activities💠 ✅ Sampling If the laboratory is responsible for the #sampling of #pharmaceuticalproducts for subsequent #testing, a standard operating procedure should be established to include both a recognized #samplingplan to ensure that a representative sample is obtained and measures to ensure that the chain of custody is effective. 👀 Further information is provided in -WHO guidelines for sampling of pharmaceutical products and related materials -WHO guidance on testing of “suspect” falsified medicines ✅Incoming samples 👉The chain of custody of each sample should be recorded. 👉Samples received by a laboratory may be for compliance testing or investigative testing. 👉A standard test request form should be completed for each sample submitted to the laboratory. ✅Selection, validation and verification of analytical procedures 👉All #analyticalprocedures employed for testing should be suitable for the intended use. 👉When a non-pharmacopeial substance or product is to be analysed, it is preferable to apply the approved methods of the manufacturer; otherwise, #validation of the method to be employed should be undertaken 👀 Further guidance on the validation of analytical procedures is available in - WHO good manufacturing practices: guidelines on validation ✅Technical records The #analyticalworksheet, or any suitable alternative document, is an internal document to be used by the analyst for recording information about the sample, the test procedure, reagents, standards, materials, calculations and the results of testing. 👉Detailed recommendations are provided in the WHO Guideline on data integrity and should be implemented. ✅Testing #Testing of #productionsamples from #pharmaceutical manufacturers may be conducted entirely in the laboratory or, for some with high output, as a combination of in-process controls, using process analytical technology, and laboratory testing. ✅Evaluation of test results 👉For compliance testing, the product should meet all the acceptance requirements of the analytical tests included in the approved specification. 👉 Test results should be reviewed and approved or rejected by designated qualified personnel according to the competency master list or matrix ✅Out-of-specification results A standard operating procedure should be in place for the conduct of an investigation into a suspected #outofspecification test result. All conclusions should be recorded by the analyst and reviewed and approved by the supervisor. ✅Retained samples Samples should be retained as required by legislation or by the originator of the request for analysis The retained sample should be contained in its original packaging.
