Mr. Sagar Kishor Savale
M. Pharm [Pharmaceutics]
Mr. Sagar Kishor Savale
2. Analytical methods plays a vital role in new drug development, Preformulation and
formulation studies, stability studies and quality control testing.
This method must be simple, specific, accurate, precise, economical and convenient. The
method should be validated during its development and use.
Introduction
Mr. Sagar Kishor Savale
3. Validation is relatively new concept in pharmaceutical manufacturing evolved in 1980’s.
Validation is documented evidence which provides a high degree of assurance that a specific
process will consistently produce a product meeting its pre-determined specifications and
quality characteristics.
Concept of Validation
Mr. Sagar Kishor Savale
4. Analytical validation refers to the evaluation and proving that an analytical method serves the
intended purpose.
Analytical validation ensures that the selected analytical method will give reproducible and
reliable results adequate for Intended Purpose.

18. Mr. Sagar Kishor Savale
Accuracy
The agreement between the test results obtained by the proposed method and the true value.
It expresses the correctness of the method.
It is expressed as percentage by the assay of known amount of substance.
Accuracy also evaluated by recovery studies, in which known amount of drug is added to
previously analyzed pharmaceutical preparation of the drug and tested for the recovery of the
added drug.
19. Mr. Sagar Kishor Savale
Should be established across specified range of analytical procedure.
Should be assessed using a minimum of 3 concentration levels, each in triplicate (total of 9
determinations)
Should be reported as:
Percent recovery of known amount added or
The difference between the mean assay result and the accepted value
Accuracy
20. Mr. Sagar Kishor Savale
The absolute error is a measure of the accuracy of the measurement, it is then calculated as,
Absolute error = Mean error
(True value – Measured value) / True value x 100
Accuracy

22. Mr. Sagar Kishor Savale
Precision
Precision refers to the agreement among the individual test results when a method is applied
repeatedly to the same sample.
It is a measure of degree of repeatability or reproducibility of a method.
23. Mr. Sagar Kishor Savale
Precision
The precision of an analytical procedure is usually expressed as relative standard deviation
(RSD), which is calculated as, RSD = S. D. / Mean x 100
24. Mr. Sagar Kishor Savale
Specificity of a method refers to the ability of the method to measure accurately and
specifically the substance of interest in the sample as impurities, degradation products.
For this the test results of analysis of samples containing other ingredients is compared with the
samples without containing ingredients.
Specificity
25. Mr. Sagar Kishor Savale
The linearity of an analytical method is its ability to obtain test results which are directly
proportional to the concentration of analyte in the sample.
Linearity
26. Mr. Sagar Kishor Savale
Linearity Should be Evaluated
By Visual Inspection of plot of signals vs. analyte concentration
By Appropriate statistical methods
Linear Regression (y = mx + b)
Correlation Coefficient, y-intercept (b), slope (m)
Acceptance criteria: Linear regression r2 > 0.95
27. Mr. Sagar Kishor Savale
The range of an analytical method is the interval between the upper and lower concentration of
analyte in the sample.
Beer’s law response – concentration curve should be linear at least 5-6 points in the range.

Robustness is the measure of the capacity of the analytical method to remain unaffected by
small but deliberate variations in procedure.
Robustness
36. Mr. Sagar Kishor Savale
Degree of reproducibility of test results obtained by analysing the same sample under variety of
normal test conditions is known as ruggedness.

37. Mr. Sagar Kishor Savale
Repeatability expresses the precision under the same operating conditions over a short interval
of time.
Repeatability
38. Mr. Sagar Kishor Savale
Sensitivity refers to the smallest quantity that can be accurately measured.
It also indicates the capacity of the method to measure small variations in concentration. In the
case of UV and Visible spectrophotometric methods, an estimate known as Sandell’s
Sensitivity’ is used to evaluate the sensitivity of the method.
Sensitivity
