Quality by Design

From an empiric and compliance based approach towards a scientific, risk-based, holistic and proactive approach

Predefined objectives

Emphasizes product and process understanding and process control

Based on sound science and quality risk management

From ICH Q8: The degree of regulatory flexibility is predicated on the level of scientific knowledge provided.

... quality cannot be tested into products, i.e. quality should be build in by design.

!AQbD is a mindset & tool to help in the process of understanding and controlling the method. AQbD is not an aim in itself! It does not replace profound knowledge of the technique and applications.

By the way, Analytical Chemistry is not an aim in itself

Method requirements fit for purpose

Research Quality Control

The purpose of the method determines the (conscious) choices you make during method development!

9© Kantisto BV

Analytical Target ProfileThe ATP states the required quality of the reportable value produced by an analytical procedure in terms of the target measurement uncertainty (TMU)

External requirements, not only from method performanceIncludes acceptable risk level evaluation TMU:

Combines uncertainty from all sourcesMaximum uncertainty associated with a reportable result while still remaining fit for intended purpose.

Examples:The procedure must be able to quantify [analyte] in the [description of test article] in the presence of [x, y, z] with the following requirements for the reportable values: Accuracy = 100% The procedure must be able to quantify [analyte] in the [description of test article] in the presence of [x, y, z] so that the reportable values fall within a TMU of C%.

Criticality assessmentWhy To determine critical method parameters (CMP)

To identify method parameters of which the effect is uncertain To be able to share all CMPsTo be able to capture and re-use knowledge

How Use a mind map or fishbone to list all method parametersList down the parameters from the Mind map; list the parameters marked noiseScore on criticality by the impact of a parameter on the ATP (analysis of a sample) and the certaintyPerform feasibility experiments for parameters with low (l) certainty and significant (4) to catastrophic (5) impact until you reach high certainty

Method optimization of CMPs have priority over feasbility of pCMPsTake the CMPs along in FMEA

Who Team of 2-5 persons including at least the SME

Time Depending on experience and previous criticality assessments, a sessiontakes about 1 3 h

Discussion is good and will lead to alignmentIf discussion takes too long, take the highest value

SME = subject matter expert; FMEA = Failure mode and effect analysis; CMP = critical method parameter; pCMP = potential CMP

Method variance

So we need to be well aware of the uncertainty of every step in the method!

And take this into account

But there is more:Each technique has its own good working practices

They are different for each techniqueIt makes huge differences in accuracy, precision and robustness whether you stick to good practices or notAQbD: make very conscious selections during method development

Badly cut capillary: injection artefacts

1. Capillary filled with BGE

2. Capillary placed in sample vial

3. Sample injection

4. Run ongoing

41© Kantisto BV

Injection practice

Increase precision, reduce carry-overBurn polyimide off capillary endsDip capillary in electrophoresis solution or water after sample injection

Removes excess sample from outside

Inject buffer/water plug after sample injectionPrevents sample loss by thermal expansion when high voltage is switched on

With or without water dip

QbD: Good documentation

Precise BGE recipes!How?

Good example:Prepare a solution of 100 mM phosphoric acid and88 mM TRIS. Check the pH, which should be pH 3.0 0.1

Bad example:0.1 M phosphate buffer adjusted to pH 3.0 with TRIS

Why?Constant ionic strength gives better reproducibilityInfluence on EOF and electrophoretic mobilityUnambiguous recipe is easier to repeatMany buffers outside calibration range of pH-meter

Method validation a few remarksTotal error approachThe use of total error (accuracy) instead of spiked recovery (trueness) and precision: Gives the guarantee that each future measurement is included in the tolerance limits with a given risk level (typically 5%)

QbD: Good documentation

Add a typical current profilePrecise rinsing descriptionsCritical method attributes

Any knowledge on critical method parameters or preparation steps and examples of successful and unsuccessful runs should be included in the method documentation If integration can be critical, also add examples of integrated electropherograms

Method transfer and life-cycle management

Implementation and life-cycle management can take 30 40% of the total time!

Use a system suitability test and control sample in each sequenceNo default SST, you know what to test for by now!

Practical training and CE courseShow good examplesShow bad examples

Monitor and trend dataReviewing of data after transfer (6 months)Check whether data remain acceptable for intended use (ATP)

We are done! Method delivered!

AQbD & CE Speeding up or slowing down?

There is always time to go back and do things over, but there is never time to do it right the first time

Time invested is paid back multiple times by reduced need for troubleshooting and re-analysis
