Regulatory observations are clearly demonstrating the safety concerns about unexpected peaks, or unknown components discovered in related substance analyses, which are typically performed using chromatographic techniques. However, they may also appear in other chromatography based tests not designed or validated to quantify related substances. Ignoring or suppressing detection of abnormal peaks, even if they do not trigger typical ICH Q3 specification limits, can instigate significant health concerns, as we learnt from the unexpected appearance of nitrosamines in drug products. In this webinar we will illustrate the lessons learnt from the nitrosamine incident, and other impurity related observations, to suggest best practices for dealing with abnormal, unusual, unexpected or unknown peaks in chromatographic analyses.
