Course description

View Course Outline

In their own Guide to Inspecting Quality Control Laboratories, the FDA states: The pharmaceutical quality control laboratory serves one of the most important functions in pharmaceutical production and control. A significant portion of the CGMP regulations (21 CFR 211) pertain to the quality control laboratory and product testing. Accurate, reliable, and meaningful laboratory data is critical to the approval and use of raw materials, release of commercial batches, and support of the shelf life for a given product.

Given the significant number of FDA observations cited each year related to Laboratory Operations, it is obvious that industry is not fully satisfying FDA requirements. Such deficiencies in the laboratory operations can and does lead to recalled batches, court injunctions and even forced discontinuance of commercial operations thus negatively impacting company profitability. FDA regulated organizations are obligated to ensure that their laboratory operates fully in compliance with GMPs.
