Transferring an analytical method from one laboratory to another should be straightforward but unfortunately it is a process which is often problematic. Recognition of this has resulted in a new USP chapter <1224> and an update to chapter 6 of the EU GMP regulations. In this one day course the different approaches to transfer are explored fully and case studies are used extensively to follow the process from review of the method prior to transfer, to creating a suitable protocol with relevant acceptance criteria, and evaluating the results generated to assess whether the transfer has been successful.
