Process Validation
We offer a scalable process in order to help you prepare the clinical supply needed for commercial approval
Drug substance process validation services
For customers preparing for commercial approval and post-commercial approval, Process Validation is a critical and significant set of activities. AGC Biologics has a well-defined approach with supporting Quality Systems to provide you with a targeted path through late-phase Process Validation. Our systems are based on the FDA’s Approved Guidance for Industry and ICH guidelines, using a risk-based lifecycle approach, and consist of three basic stages with supporting validation activities.

Stage 1
Process Design
- Identification of critical quality attributes and critical process parameters
- Risk assessments
- Process control strategy design
- Bench-scale model qualification
- Bench-scale process characterization/DOE studies
Assess reliability, confidence, inter & intra batch variation uncertainties in PPQ sample size selection
This article details two statistical methodologies for calculating the necessary number of process performance qualification (PPQ) runs: the tolerance interval (TI) method and the process capability (PpK) method.
