Area of Science:

  • Pharmaceutical industry
  • Process analytical technology
  • Statistical process control

Background:

  • Principal Component Analysis/Partial Least Squares (PCA/PLS) is increasingly used in pharmaceutical Process Analytical Technology (PAT).
  • A statistical process control (SPC) perspective is essential for evaluating PCA/PLS applications.
  • Process instability can affect the reliability of analytical methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the impact of process instability on PCA/PLS analysis.
  • To emphasize the importance of statistical process control in Process Analytical Control (PAC).
  • To encourage the integration of SPC into routine PCA/PLS workflows.

Main Methods:

  • Simulating process instability to observe its effect on PCA/PLS models.
  • Comparing PCA/PLS results obtained from stable versus unstable process data.
  • Evaluating the statistical significance of observed differences.

Main Results:

  • Process instability significantly alters PCA/PLS analysis outcomes.
  • Out-of-control process states lead to unreliable PCA/PLS conclusions.
  • Differences in results are clearly demonstrated between stable and unstable process conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Users of PCA/PLS in pharmaceutical PAT must incorporate SPC.
  • Checking process stability before PCA/PLS analysis is critical for valid results.
  • SPC should be an active component of the Process Analytical Control (PAC) toolkit.
