Recommendations for titration methods validation
Summary
Manual titration is one of the oldest analytical procedures. A transfer from manual titration to automated titration can make validation necessary. This White Paper, developed in collaboration with the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP), offers guidance for validating titration methods in accordance with USP <1225> and ICH Guidance Q2(R1) requirements.
Key topics covered in this White Paper are:
- Validation parameters: method validation for titration should include determination of the specificity, linearity, accuracy, and precision. This is necessary to obtain a complete picture of the suitability of the method for the analysis of the analyte of interest.
- Real-world example: the validation process is demonstrated for the assay of potassium bicarbonate by titration with hydrochloric acid.
