Workshop Overview

The implementation of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) is essential for maintaining product quality and ensuring regulatory compliance in industries such as Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics, and Food. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a powerful analytical technique that plays a critical role in these industries, offering unmatched sensitivity, selectivity, accuracy, and reproducibility in the quantitation of analytes.

This half-day webinar is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how HPLC can be effectively employed in GMP-compliant analytical testing. Participants will learn about the key components of an HPLC system, best practices for system suitability, and the intricacies of mobile phase preparation, column selection, and sample preparation. The course will also cover the importance of proper GMP documentation in HPLC testing and provide an overview of Empower 3 software. By the end of this session, attendees will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to perform GMP analytical testing by HPLC, ensuring the safety, identity, strength, purity, and quality of products in today’s highly regulated industries.

Who Should Attend​

This half-day webinar is ideal for professionals with beginner to intermediate knowledge of GMP analytical testing using HPLC, particularly those working in the Pharmaceutical, Cosmetic, Food, or related industries. It is especially valuable for individuals in Quality Control Laboratories, Analytical Research and Development Laboratories, and Quality Assurance departments.
