Method Validation and Verification

Method validation is a crucial process in analytical chemistry and other scientific fields to establish that a particular method or procedure is suitable for its intended purpose. It involves demonstrating that the method is reliable, accurate, precise, and capable of producing valid results consistently.

Method validation is an ongoing process, and it is recommended to periodically re-validate methods to ensure continued reliability and accuracy. Regulatory bodies, such as the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) and the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), provide guidelines and recommendations for method validation in various industries.
