GUIDEGXP · PHARMA LAB

Pharmaceutical Laboratory & QC Systems.

From instrument selection to reliable laboratory results.

Start with the instrument, workflow or measurement you need to manage. Pharma Lab organises laboratory work around six areas: instrumentation, microbiology, sample preparation, equipment, metrology and data.

PHARMA LAB DOMAINS

The laboratory, topic by topic.

Identify the area that matches your need. Each domain connects the instrument to the activities, checks and decisions needed to use it in its intended context.

01 · INSTRUMENTATION

Analytical Instrumentation

From requirements to troubleshooting: select, qualify and maintain analytical instruments for quality control.

HPLC/UHPLC · GC · Spectroscopy

Topics in this area

HPLC and UHPLC; analytical qualification and reliability; GC and Headspace; spectroscopy and LC-MS; dissolution and physical testing; TOC and physicochemical analysis.

02 · MICROBIOLOGY

Microbiology & Sterility Laboratory

Connect methods, equipment, media and sample handling to assess the meaning of microbiological results.

Sterility · Media · Rapid methods

Topics in this area

Laboratory organisation; sterility testing and isolators; microbiological methods and technologies; media, strains and incubation; sampling and sample handling; equipment and result assurance.

03 · SAMPLE PREPARATION

Liquid Handling & Sample Preparation

Make pipetting, dispensing, weighing and preparation reproducible by controlling steps that can alter the sample before analysis.

Pipettes · Centrifuges · Sample preparation

Topics in this area

Pipettes and pipetting technique; dispensing and automated handling; preparation, dilution and filtration; centrifugation and mixing; weighing and balance selection.

04 · EQUIPMENT

Laboratory Equipment & Controlled Storage

Define requirements, qualification and controls for support equipment and the storage of laboratory samples, reagents and materials.

Incubators · Chambers · Storage

Topics in this area

Requirements and qualification; incubators; sample and reagent storage; chambers, mapping and alarms; thermal equipment and bench services; equipment lifecycle.

05 · METROLOGY

Calibration & Laboratory Metrology

From calibration results to fitness for use: traceability, uncertainty, intermediate checks, certificates and out-of-tolerance instruments.

Calibration · Uncertainty · Traceability

Topics in this area

Strategy and fundamentals; instrument calibration; physical quantities; references and calibration lifecycle; quality, certificates and providers.

06 · DIGITAL LAB

Digital Lab & Data Integrity

Organise systems, instruments and records around laboratory work, from data acquisition to review and retention.

LIMS · CDS · Data integrity

Topics in this area

Architecture and system selection; chromatographic data; integration and sample workflow; assurance, access and compliance; retention, migration and support; suppliers and digitalisation roadmap.

FROM PROBLEM TO DECISION

Start with intended use. Build the evidence.

01

Define the need

What do you need to measure, prepare or demonstrate? Clarify the sample, instrument, expected result and responsibilities.

02

Distinguish the activities

Separate requirements, qualification, calibration, checks and data management. Link each activity to the decision it needs to support.

03

Assess your context

Consider intended use, risk and the available documentation. For a specific need, describe your case to GuideGxP.
