Data systems are important in ensuring data integrity, but what should laboratories do beyond looking at data systems—with respect to people, processes, and culture? To understand more, we spoke to Mark Newton, of Heartland QA, in Lebanon, Indiana, in a podcast interview.

In static headspace gas chromatography (HS-GC) sample diluents and sample matrices can affect analytical method sensitivity, accuracy, and interferences. By applying the rules revealed by this study, these problems can be avoided.

An analysis method for influenza virus particles has been developed using SEC which provides complimentary biopharmaceutical data for use during vaccine production and approval.

There’s a lot of interest in moving data to the cloud for security, centralization, and collaboration. Doing so, however, has implications for data integrity and audits. To understand more, we spoke to Monica Cahilly, the president and founder of Green Mountain Quality Assurance, in a podcast interview. Cahilly has more than 25 years of consulting experience, with specialized interest and enthusiasm for data integrity assurance and data governance. A short excerpt of that interview is presented here.

When we are focused on resolving a particular problem, it can be easy to lose sight of important steps in troubleshooting problems with liquid chromatography (LC) instruments. Taking a systematic and disciplined approach to troubleshooting can improve both the efficiency and effectiveness of our troubleshooting efforts.

The 2020 Eastern Analytical Symposium has gone virtual for 2020, and although we will miss the camaraderie of face to face interaction, the theme of this year’s conference “Analytical Science: Cornerstone of Innovation” indicates the strength of the separation sciences and the talks that you will not want to miss.
