Applying a Software-Assisted Analytical Quality-by-Design Approach for the Analysis of Formoterol, Budesonide, and Related Compounds by UPLC-MS

Analytical method performance is critical to ensure the quality, safety, and efficacy of pharmaceutical products. Two of the most commonly used ones are One Factor at a Time (OFAT) and Analytical Quality by Design (AQbD). In this work, a robust method for budesonide, formoterol, and related compounds was developed using a Quality by Design approach on an ACQUITY UPLC H-Class PLUS System running Empower 3 and Fusion Software.
