Validation Projects

CLS Pharma can conduct a wide range of customised validation projects. This can be an already prepared project that has been specified and scoped out by our client or in consultation with CLS. There is a valuable resource of expertise and knowledge that can be shared within our team and programmes can be drawn up and agreed. The following are examples of validation projects. An extended example of one of the areas ‘cleanroom validation’ is given below in more detail.

  • Method Transfers from client sites to CLS Pharma
  • Methods developed to client specification, international guidance or non specific
  • Process Validation
  • Process Simulation
  • Purified Water Systems e.g. Operational Qualification (OP) and Production Qualification (PQ) Purified to water for injectables
  • Various classification validations
  • Cleaning / Detergent efficacy
  • Training / Comparative validations
  • Pilot Validation studies
  • Material Integrity Validation
Cleanroom Validation
  • Design the validation programme in accordance with the clients requirements
  • Draw up specifications and compliance requirements
  • Specify testing requirements and accreditations
  • Compile a working document and report structure
  • Include interpretation and compliance discussion
  • Follow and design monitoring programmes and set up warning and action limits
  • Trained technicians conduct environmental sampling
  • Viable sampling and analysis of surfaces, air, personnel and water
  • Non viable sampling and reporting of non viable counts
  • On site recording of environmental conditions, number of personnel present, etc
  • Following through on over action results: Gram stains and Api identification
  • Setting up of a company library of strains identified
  • Troubleshooting for recurring issues
