DATA ELEMENTS REQUIRED
FOR ASSAY VALIDATION

ACCURACY
Definition-
The accuracy of an analytical procedure is the closeness of
test results obtained by that procedure to the true value.
Determined by application of the analytical procedure to an
analyte of known purity (e.g. A Reference Standard).
Accuracy should be assessed using a minimum of nine
determinations over a minimum of three concentration
levels, covering the specified range.(i.e. Three concentrations
and three replicates of each concentration).

ACCURACY
Should be reported as:
Percent recovery of known amount added or
the difference between the mean assay result and the accepted
value.
Assessment of accuracy –
Evaluating the recovery of the analyte (percent recovery) across
the range of the assay, or evaluating the linearity of the
relationship between estimated and actual concentrations.

120.2 119.8 99.7
150.4 149.7 99.5

PRECISION
Definition-
It is the degree of agreement among individual test results
when the procedure is applied repeatedly to multiple
samplings of a homogeneous sample.
Precision may be a measure of either the degree of
reproducibility or of repeatability of the analytical procedure
under normal operating conditions.

PRECISION
Repeatability should be assessed using a minimum of nine
determinations covering the specified range for the procedure
(i.e., three concentrations and three replicates of each
concentration or using a minimum of six determinations at
100% of the test concentration).

(PRECISION)
1.REPEATABILITY
Precision Considered at 3 Levels
1. Repeatability- Express the precision under the same
operating conditions over a short interval of time. Also
referred to as Intra-assay precision.
Should be assessed using minimum of 9 determinations
( 3 concentrations/ 3 replicates) or
Minimum of 6 determinations at the 100% level.

2.INTERMEDIATE PRECISION
Express within-laboratory variations.
Expressed in terms of standard deviation, relative standard
deviation (coefficient of variation) and confidence interval.
Studies should include varying days, analysts, equipment,
etc.
Depends on the circumstances under which the procedure is
intended to be used.

SPECIFICITY
Definition -
Its the ability to assess unequivocally the analyte in the
presence of components that may be expected to be
present, such as impurities, degradation products, and
matrix components.
IUPAC, AOAC-I have preferred the term “selectivity,”
reserving “specificity” for those procedures that are
completely selective.

SPECIFICITY
Specificity has the following implications:
Identification Tests: Ensure the identity of the analyte.
Purity Tests: Ensure that all the analytical procedures
performed allow an accurate statement of the content of
impurities of an analyte (e.g. related substances test, heavy
metals limit, organic volatile impurities).
Assays: Provide an exact result, which allows an accurate
statement on the content or potency of the analyte in a
sample.

SPECIFICITY
Determination -
If impurity or degradation product standards are
unavailable, compare the test results of samples containing
impurities or degradation products to a second well-
characterized procedure (e.g., a Pharmacopeial or other
validated procedure).
The ICH documents state that when chromatographic
procedures are used, representative chromatograms should be
presented to demonstrate the degree of selectivity, and peaks
should be appropriately labeled.

DETECTION LIMIT
Definition -
It is the lowest amount of analyte in a sample that can be
detected, but not necessarily quantitated, under the stated
experimental conditions.
The detection limit is a characteristic of limit tests.
Its usually expressed as the concentration of analyte (e.g.,
percentage, parts per billion) in the sample.

DETECTION LIMIT
Determination -
For non instrumental procedures -
• Generally determined by the analysis of samples with known
concentrations of analyte and by establishing the minimum
level at which the analyte can be reliably detected.
For instrumental procedures -
• That exhibit background noise, which is to compare measured
signals from samples with known low concentrations of
analyte with those of blank samples.
• [Acceptable signal-to-noise ratios are 2:1 or 3:1.]

QUANTITATION LIMIT
Definition-
It is the lowest amount of analyte in a sample that can
be determined with acceptable precision and accuracy
under the stated experimental conditions.
The quantitation limit is a characteristic of quantitative
assays for low levels of compounds in sample matrices, such
as impurities in bulk drug substances and degradation
products in finished pharmaceuticals.

QUANTITATION LIMIT
Determination -
For non instrumental procedures -
• Determined by the analysis of samples with known
concentrations of analyte
For instrumental procedures -
• the ICH documents describe a common approach, which is to
compare measured signals from samples with known low
concentrations of analyte with those of blank samples.
[A typically acceptable signal-to-noise ratio is 10:1.]

LINEARITY
• Definition -
Its ability to elicit test results that are directly, or by a
well-defined mathematical transformation, proportional to
the concentration of analyte in samples within a given
range.
• “linearity” refers to the linearity of the relationship of
concentration and assay measurement.

LINEARITY
By Visual Inspection of plot of signals vs. analyte
concentration
By Appropriate statistical methods
Linear Regression (y = mx + b)
Correlation Coefficient, y-intercept (b), slope (m)
Acceptance criteria: Linear regression r2 > 0.95
Requires a minimum of 5 concentration levels

RANGE
Definition -
Its the interval between the upper and lower levels of
analyte (including these levels) that have been
demonstrated to be determined with a suitable level of
precision, accuracy, and linearity using the procedure as
written.

RANGE
• For Drug Substance & Drug product Assay
– 80 to 120% of test Concentration
• For Content Uniformity Assay
– 70 to 130% of test Concentration
• For Dissolution Test Method
– +/- 20% over entire Specification Range
• For Impurity Assays
– From Reporting Level to 120% of Impurity
Specification for Impurity Assays
– From Reporting Level to 120% of Assay Specification
for Impurity/Assay Methods

ROBUSTNESS
Definition –
• It’s the measure of its capacity to remain unaffected by
small but deliberate variations in procedural parameters
listed in the procedure documentation and provides an
indication of its suitability during normal usage.
Examples of typical variations are:
• Stability of analytical solutions
• Extraction time.

ROBUSTNESS
In the case of LC, examples of typical
variations are:
• - influence of variations of pH in a mobile phase.
• - influence of variations in mobile phase composition.
• - different columns (different lots and/or suppliers)
• - temperature.
• - flow rate.

VALIDATION
CHARACTERISTICS

• Recovery studies and validation of the method
(As per ICH Q2A Guidelines) :
• Recovery studies were carried out by adding 1, 2 and 3 mg of
pure drug to different samples of tablet powder containing the
equivalent of 10 mg of drug.
• Percentage recovery was calculated from the amount
obtained by recovery studies.
• Precision of the method was studied by carrying out intraday,
interday analysis and expressed as % Relative Standard.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
• In this proposed method, the determining conditions were
established by varying one parameter at a time and keeping the
other fixed by observing the effect produced on the
absorbance of a complex.
• The parameters involves the maximum complex
development viz. concentration of reagent, temperature
and time required to yield complex of maximum sensitivity
were optimized.
• The proposed method was found to be accurate, simple and
rapid for routine analysis of cephalexin.

• This method was based on the reaction of NBS with aromatic
amines in an acidic medium to form a brominating colored
product.
• Cephalexin is let to react with a known excess of NBS in
acidic media.
• This caused a proportional decrease in the concentration and
absorbance of formed color in the mixture by an increase in
concentration of cephalexin.

PURPOSE OF STUDY
An LC–MS/MS method was developed to measure SIM and
its acid form (SIMA) in plasma and peripheral blood
mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from patients.
Chromatographic analyte separation was carried out on a
reverse-phase column using 75:25 (% v/v)
acetonitrile:ammonium acetate (0.1M, pH 5.0) mobile phase.
The assay was validated for specificity and sensitivity,
linearity, precision and accuracy, extraction recovery, matrix
effect, and stability

SPECIFICITY AND SENSITIVITY
• Assay specificity and sensitivity were conducted in eight
different lots of blank plasma that was either left blank or
spiked with both analyte and IS.
• The lowest limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was assessed in the
same plasma lots used for specificity.
• The determination of LLOQ was based on the criteria that the
deviation of the measured concentrations should NMT 20%
from the nominal concentration and that the signal to noise
ratio be ≥5.

LINEARITY
• Linearity was evaluated using plasma samples spiked with
both SIM and SIMA at concentration ranges 2.5–500 ng/mL
and 5–500 ng/mL, respectively.
• The internal standard LOV, concentration was 50 ng/mL in all
calibration standards.
• Three calibration curves were prepared and analyzed by
plotting area ratios of analyte to internal standard against the
concentration of each calibration standard.

PRECISION AND ACCURACY
• The intra-day precision and accuracy was evaluated at
three different QC levels (low, medium and high) in eight
replicates on the same day and in five replicates on three
different days for inter-day precision and accuracy
determination.
Acceptable deviation –
Within 15% of the nominal concentration for accuracy .
Within 15% relative standard deviation for precision

PRECISION AND ACCURACY
The results from intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy
indicate that the method reproducibility is acceptable within the
same day and on different days .

STABILITY
• The short term and long term stability of SIM and SIMA in
plasma and cell lysate samples -
• Short term stability of SIM and SIMA was evaluated in
plasma and cell lysate samples at 40C (ice-bath) for 6h.
• Long term stability of SIM and SIMA was evaluated by
storing samples for a month at -800C.
• Interconversion can be reduced either at low temperature or
when pH is adjusted between pH 4 and pH 5.tested the
stability of both SIM and SIMA in working solution kept at
-800C and they were found to be stable for at least one year .
