5.6 Validation / GLP
730 Sample Changer, Appendix
177
55.6 .6 Validation / GLP
GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) requirements include the periodic
check of analytical instruments for reproducibility and accuracy
using Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).
Although the instrument in question is not a measuring instrument,
it is recommended to include the 730 Sample Changer in the vali-
dation of an analytical system as a part of it.
If the sample changer is mainly used for titration automation, the
validation of the titration instrument should ideally be done with the
help of the sample changer. In this way, any disturbing factors (for
example, the entrainment of sample or titration solution) which
could influence the measurement results can be included within
the judgment of the entire titration system.
Checking of the electronic and mechanical components of meas-
uring instruments can and should be undertaken by qualified per-
sonnel of the manufacturing company as part of regular servicing.
All Metrohm instruments are provided with start-up test routines
which check that the relevant assemblies are working perfectly
when the instrument is switched on. If no error message is dis-
played, it can be assumed that the instrument is functioning fault-
lessly. Instruments from the Metrohm company are also supplied
with built-in diagnostic programs which enable the user to check
the functioning of certain components in the event of malfunctions
or faulty behavior and to localize the fault. Diagnostic programs
may also be integrated in a validation procedure.
Guidelines for the creation of standard operating procedures for
checking a titration system can be found in the application Bulletin
252/1 ("Validation of Metrohm Titration Instruments according to
GLP/ISO9001"). This can be requested free of charge from
Metrohm.
Furthermore a 3.5" diskette (Application Service Disk, order no.
8.000.8001) is available which contains a work sheet (Format: MS-
Excel, Version 4.0 and 5.0) for the statistical analysis of the vali-
dation.
