Mettler Toledo has announced a webinar in collaboration with Dionex that will describe an automated approach to linearity testing to shorten workflow and reduce the error rate.
The sample preparation process will be discussed, as well as UHPLC analysis, data evaluation and report generation.
The webinar will be hosted on 20 January 2011 at 11:00 EST (16:00 GMT) by Pharmaceutical Technology.
The International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) recommends ways to achieve greater harmonisation in the interpretation and application of technical guidelines during the research and development of new medicines.
When validating a method according to the ICH guidelines, it is necessary to perform a linearity experiment.
This requires the preparation of multiple calibration levels, analysis of the samples by liquid chromatography, and calculation/reporting of the results.
Each of these steps can be time-consuming and in many cases error-prone.
This is especially true if the analytical method being tested requires the measurement of multiple components.
In this webinar, Dr Joanne Ratcliff, marketing project manager from Mettler Toledo, and Fraser McLeod, senior director of product marketing from Dionex, present a new way to tackle these challenges.
The webinar demonstrates an automated approach to sample preparation, the use of UHPLC to speed up the analysis, and the use of advanced software tools for calculation and reporting of the results.
When used in combination, these tools shorten the linearity workflow and reduce the error rate.
The webinar will be of interest to those who have to manually prepare samples and standards, who work in pharmaceutical method development and QA/QC, and who want to learn how UHPLC can improve productivity in their lab.
The key learning objectives of this webinar include: how automated sample preparation can save time and reduce error; how UHPLC can reduce sample analysis time by a factor of five or more; and how a chromatography data system can fully automate calculation of the results.
