Who can take over my analytical method through a method transfer?
Method transfer qualifies a receiving lab to run a validated procedure. USP <1224> describes approaches such as comparative testing, co-validation, revalidation and transfer waivers.
What the method covers
HPLC, GC, dissolution, titration and other QC methods in regulated settings.
Applicability caveats
- The transferring and receiving labs agree a protocol and acceptance criteria first.
- Instrument and column differences may require adjustments within allowed limits.
- Urgent transfers still need documented approval.
