Overview
Analytical verification describes the use of defined methods to evaluate material characteristics such as identity or purity.
Purpose
The purpose is to clarify what analytical verification can and cannot establish.
Scientific Background
Different analytical methods answer different questions. HPLC can support purity estimation, while mass spectrometry can support identity confirmation.
Laboratory Considerations
- Match the analytical method to the question being asked.
- Separate identity, purity, and stability conclusions.
- Review method limitations and lot-specific records.
Quality Considerations
Analytical verification supports documentation transparency but does not create therapeutic or clinical conclusions.
Documentation Standards
Verification records should connect method, result, lot identifier, and issuing laboratory when available.
Common Misconceptions
- One analytical method rarely answers every quality question.
- Purity and identity are different analytical concepts.
- Verification is not a medical-use clearance.
