Objective:
1. To validate a newly developed UV-Vis Assay Procedure for an active ingredient in
a dosage form
2. To familiarize oneself to the process involved in assay validation.
Procedure:
1. Assume the development of a new assay procedure for Acetaminophen tablet
500 mg using UV-Vis Spectroscopy.
2. Determine the accuracy, precision, specificity, linearity, and range of the newly
developed assay procedure.
a. For accuracy, nine analyte solutions will be prepared and assayed, with 3
different concentration levels (80%, 100%, and 120%) and three replicates
of each concentration. Compute for the % mean recovery and interpret
results.
% recovery = recovered
added x 100%
b. For precision, six analyte solutions with 100% concentration will be
prepared and assayed. Compute for the relative standard deviation and
interpret results.

c. For specificity, three solutions with the analyte will be spiked with
acceptable level of impurities then the mean assay result will be
compared with the assay result obtained on unspiked samples.
d. For linearity, five solutions of difference concentration will be prepared
(80%, 90%, 100%, 110%, and 120%) and assayed. Determine coefficient of
determination, r2, using a statistical software and compare to validation
criteria. The correlation coefficient, y-intercept, slope of the regression line
and residual sum of squares should be submitted, a plot of the data with
the regression line should be included in a separate sheet of paper.
e. For range, it will be established by confirming that the analytical
procedure provides an acceptable degree of linearity, accuracy and
precision. Minimum specified range for the assay of an active substance
or a finished product is normally from 80% to 120% of the test
concentration.

Answer the following questions:
1. Differentiate Detection and Quantitation Limits and state the conditions when
they are required for inclusion as a validation parameter.
- The LOD is the lowest analyte concentration that can be distinguished from
the assay background, while the LOQ is the lowest concentration at which
the analyte can be quantitated at defined levels for imprecision and
accuracy. They are required for inclusion as a validation parameter when
using an analytical method. Failing to do so, might end up with erroneous
results and waste time and resources.
2. What is the difference between of validation and verification?
- The difference between validation and verification is that verification is known
to be the assessment of whether the procedure can be used for its intended
purpose, it also has the objective to demonstrate if what was written on the
pharmacopeia is really appropriate or suitable for use. On the other hand,
validation is all about the process or the act by which to confirm that the
performance characteristics of an analytical procedure meet the designated
requirements for its intended application.
3. Define “test result” and is it always the same as the observed value after
performing a specified test method? Explain.
- Test result can be defined as the outcome obtained from a particular test
method which particularize that individual measurements and their average
(or median, SD) are reported as the result of the test. The results that can be
obtained from a test is not always the same as the observed value after
performing a specific test method. It is for the certain reason that results
obtained from a test can vary and it might be different to the desirable result
from the test which is intended to be achieved which is commonly caused by
different errors done during the test procedures.
4. Explain the three levels of precision.
- Repeatability (Intra-assay precision)
● It is the type of precision which is under the same operating procedure
performed within a short period. It is evaluated using 9 determinations,
which are triplicates of three concentrations, that covers a particular
range. It can also be assessed with a minimum of 6 determinations at
100% concentration
- Intermediate Precision (Ruggedness)
● It demonstrates within-laboratory variations such as using different
equipment for testing on different days, by different analysts.
- Reproducibility
● It is evaluated by inter-laboratory trials. it describes precision in
laboratories through collaborative studies or during methodology
standardization.
