Validation of column-based chromatography processes for the purification of proteins. Technical report No. 14

PDA Technical Report No. 14 has been written to provide current best practices, such as application of risk-based decision making, based in sound science to provide a foundation for the validation of column-based chromatography processes and to expand upon information provided in Technical Report No. 42, Process Validation of Protein Manufacturing. The intent of this technical report is to provide an integrated validation life-cycle approach that begins with the use of process development data for the definition of operational parameters as a basis for validation, confirmation, and/or minor adjustment to these parameters at manufacturing scale during production of conformance batches and maintenance of the validated state throughout the product's life cycle.
