Introduction
• Modern business drivers are continually pushing to reduce the
time it takes to get a product or service to market, reduce the
risk and cost associated with that, and to improve quality
• Not doing a task right the first time usually creates more work
“We had a fundamental belief that doing it right the first time was going to
be easier than having to go back and fix it. And I cannot say strongly
enough that the repercussions of that attitude are staggering” (Steve Jobs)
• Improving quality doesn’t always mean more work
“Quality is free, provided [the task] is done right the first time”
• and my favorite…
“Genius is the ability to evade work by doing something right the first time”](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/cdswebinarrightfirsttimeseriespart1mar2014brandlegalapprovedslidesrev3-140714180540-phpapp01/85/Chromatography-Data-System-Getting-It-Right-First-Time-Seminar-Series-Part-1-3-320.jpg)

- 4. 4 Introduction • In laboratories, delivering an analytical result that’s “right first time” (RFT) is the answer • No reprocessing data • No re-running injections • No out of specification (OOS) results • No reporting or calculation errors • Getting RFT analysis automatically gives: High quality of results High confidence in results Lower cost of analysis Improved lab efficiency Faster release to market Faster return on investment (ROI)
- 5. 5 How to Get It Right The First Time?
- 6. 6 How to Get It Right The First Time? • Reasons things don’t go right the first time: • “Human operators are one of the biggest sources of errors in any complex system” • An experienced analyst who is 100% focused can still make 5 errors in 1000 simple data entries (0.5%) • But what if they are inexperienced, aren’t 100% focused, or doing a complex task? • Can rise 10 fold (5%) • Other factors: • Lack of preparation • Rushing the task • Lack of attention • Leaving things undone
- 7. 7 How to Get It Right The First Time? • What do you need for RFT analysis in a laboratory? • Robust and reliable instrumentation • Robust, reproducible, and reliable methodology • Highly trained, experienced operators? • Preparation • Documentation • Qualification • Training • Reproducibility • Removing the “human error” factor – automation
- 8. 8 How to Get It Right The First Time? • Instrumentation • Qualification • Servicing and wear part monitoring – maximize uptime. • Methodology • Standard operating procedures • Document describing all steps and activities of a procedure that can be followed to guarantee a specific outcome • i.e. ensure an analysis is always done the same way, no matter who performs it • “Streamlining Routine Chromatography Analyses Using eWorkflows™” webinar • Validated analysis methods • Demonstrate that an analytical procedure is suitable for its intended purpose • i.e. it gives accurate results, reliably and under different circumstances • Operators • Training – How to get inexperienced users as good as experienced?
- 9. 9 How Can Your CDS Help? • Guy scratching head looking at PC?
- 10. 10 How Can Your CDS Help? • Robust and reliable instrumentation • Qualification automation • Monitor instrument status • Robust, reproducible, and reliable methodology • Standard operating procedures • Method validation • Automated sequence creation • Run-time checks • In-run reactions to actual chromatographic results • Automated result calculation and export • Operators • Make learning curve as shallow as possible • Provide tools to help inexperienced users with more complex tasks
- 11. 11 Chromeleon CDS Tools for RFT Analysis
- 12. 12 Chromeleon CDS Tools for RFT Analysis • Instrumentation • Predictive performance – instrument qualification, service and wear part monitors • Methodology • ICH Method Validation Templates • eWorkflows • Sequence Ready Check • Smart Startup • System Suitability Tests with Intelligent Run Control • Spreadsheet-based Report Designer with integral Report Check • Operators • All the above combine to ensure ANY operator can achieve RFT analysis
- 13. 13 Instrumentation – Predictive Performance
- 14. 14 Instrumentation – Predictive Performance • Combined with Thermo Scientific™ Dionex™ UltiMate™ 3000 LC, or some of the Thermo Scientific™ Dionex™ ICS Systems, Chromeleon CDS software provides several counters to monitor system performance: • Some counters are expressed as dates (Service) • Some counters are expressed as numbers (Wellness) • For these counters it is possible to set: • An Interval and a Warning Period (Service) • A Limit and a Warning Limit (Wellness) • Limits checked before running samples and appropriate warning messages provided to user • The counter information is stored in module, not in software
- 15. 15 Instrumentation – Predictive Performance • Predictive performance for Service and Wellness features are accessible through module ePanels
- 16. 16 Instrumentation – Predictive Performance – Service • Last service date, service interval and warning period are entered • When reaching warning period, warning is written in audit trail and color changes to yellow • When exceeding service interval, warning is written in audit trail and color changes to orange
- 17. 17 Instrumentation – Predictive Performance – Wellness • Wellness parameters work similar to service parameters • For the wellness parameters it is possible to set limits and warning limits • All limits are predefined by module designers, and default values regularly updated based on field input
- 18. 18 Instrumentation - Predictive Performance - Qualification • Keeps track of the qualification status of module • For each module administrators can define • Qualification interval • Warning period • Grace period • Administrators can ensure users cannot work with modules after dates are exceeded • The counters are stored in the modules
- 19. 19 Benefits of Predictive Performance • Instrument notifies you of impending service/qualification • Allows you to schedule workload more effectively • Improves instrument utilization • Instrument notifies you of potential wear part failure • Allows you to schedule instrument maintenance at most convenient time • Improves instrument uptime • Prevents you from working with “out of qualification” system • Enforces regulatory compliance • Information is stored in instrument firmware • Ensures data is recorded and maintained at all times, even if module is moved/exchanged
- 20. 20 Methodology – Validated Methods
- 21. 21 Methodology – Validated Methods • The objective of validation of an analytical procedure is to demonstrate that it is suitable for its intended purpose, i.e. it gives accurate results, reliably and under different conditions • Different analysts, instruments, columns, or consumables • Variations in flow, inject volume, mobile phase composition • It also tests scope of the method • Concentration range • Most pharma laboratories and pharmacopeias have standardized on ICH approach INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HARMONISATION OF TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTRATION OF PHARMACEUTICALS FOR HUMAN USE
- 22. 22 • ICH specifies 8 different tests and when to perform: • Specificity • Accuracy • Precision • Repeatability • Intermediate Precision • Reproducibility • Detection Limit • Quantitation Limit • Linearity • Range • Robustness Methodology – Validated Methods
- 23. 23 • Ensure robustness before you waste time validating! • How long to validate an HPLC external standard assay method… about 8 – 12 man days • Creating the final report can take several hours • Can be difficult to consolidate data • Often need external spreadsheets • Lots of opportunities for errors to occur Methodology – Validated Methods
