This case study determines the adoption of Waters ACQUITY UPLC and ACQUITY QDa™ technology in contributing to the success of independent pharmaceutical service provider Chromicent, by providing more information faster and earlier in the method development process.

In this work, an UltraPerformance Liquid Chromatography method was developed for the analysis of Valsartan and a mixture of six genotoxic impurities using the Analytical Quality by Design (AQbD) approach. Findings indicated that using the AQbD approach and automated software helps gain a deep knowledge about the method and as a result, increases method robustness and reproducibility.

Learn how Hovione, a global CDMO, has determined that the combination of Waters instrumentation and AQbD is a powerful strategy for method development that leads to better, faster, greener analytical methods, enables resource optimization, and more.

Using the Analytical Quality by Design (AQbD) approach, an Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography method was developed for the analysis of a mixture of metal chelating and non-chelating compounds. DryLab, Empower, and Waters systems were used to automate the method development process.

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.

Chromatographic methods developed to analyze pharmaceutical compounds must distinguish low-level impurities before they reach alert/action levels. Parameters such as retention, peak shape, and sensitivity are very important to successfully accomplish this. Read this app note to learn more about MaxPeak Premier Technology.

This white paper describes the use of Empower™ 3 Control Charts to facilitate the continued procedure performance verification stage of the analytical procedure lifecycle approach.


Modern approaches to analytical procedure development such as Analytical Quality-by-Design (AQbD) focus on the reliability and accuracy of the final result, encouraging Analytical Developers to understand how aspects of sampling, storage, sample preparation, personnel training, instrument parameters, and data handling might affect result reliability. Find out more about AQbD and the best tools to design and develop fit-for-purpose methods.
