Validation
Validation Extensions Procedure

As DYNALABS strives to improve quality for its customers, the Validation Extensions procedure is being altered. In addition to current practice, DYNALABS will now be performing stress studies on the formulation as well as the placebos. The benefit of this change is a more robust degradation profile for the formulation. The new procedure is effective July 1st.

Additional testing may be performed at the customer’s request to meet the needs set for their testing and studies. This could include product sample stress under more extreme conditions, by additional pathways, or the injection of customer provided impurities that may be common to their materials and processes.

Validation Extensions Necessity

During method development, sample precision and sample specificity are typical analyzed by aqueous samples. To demonstrate that a client’s formulation shows specificity on DYNALABS’ methods, a validation extension needs to be performed. The validation extension is especially crucial for samples that are non-sterile or suspensions due to the nature of these products.
