New Service: The Proficiency Testing Program (PTP)
A few weeks ago, we informed you about a new range of products from the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and at the end of the newsletter we anticipated a new agreement with CymitQuímica. Today we are finally announcing it:
The USP, in collaboration with the highly reputable NSI Lab Solutions and CymitQuímica for Spain and Portugal, presents its Proficiency Testing Program (PTP), aimed at quality control & R&D laboratories of pharmaceutical companies.
What is it?
The objective of the program is to confirm the competitiveness and performance of laboratory test procedures (according to CFR, ISO, ICH7 CLIA, WHO references).
The PTP:
- Demonstrates the commitment of the laboratory and the company to improving quality and reducing uncertainty
- It supports the accreditation/certificationof laboratories against different quality standards.
- Provides key information to evaluate methods and instrumentation
- Advances staff training
How does the program work?
The process goes as follows: the laboratory acquires the kits that are most convenient for them to qualify its procedures (see our CymitQuimica USP Proficiency Testing Program), the instructions for each test are followed, and the results (not the sample) are sent through the USP portal to the institution where results will be analyzed and statistically comparedwith other labs to obtain results subject to USP quality standards without external bias.
USP has relied on CymitQuímica to distribute the different kits, so in addition to providing the entire variety of Proficiency Testing Program Kits laboratories, it also advises them throughout the process to make them more competitive.
In the descriptions of the kits on our website you will find the dates for which each test program is planned in 2022. There are several dates planned this year (for each type of Kit) in order to cover all the demands of the laboratories worldwide.
The program is accredited in accordance with ISO/IEC 17043:2010 standard as a PT provider (Proficiency Testing).
Once again, we invite you to check which Kits are best suited to your laboratory and your processes at CymitQuimica USP Proficiency Testing Program. Some of the analysis for which there are PT kits are:
Chromatography HPLC-Liquid, Chromatography HPLC-Solid, Chromatography GC-FID, Titration-Potentiometric, Titration-Colorimetric, Conductivity, Residue on Ignition, Uniformity of Dosage Units, Potential Hydrogen-pH, Spectroscopy-uv/vis, Water Determination-Liquid, Water Determination–Solid, Loss on Drying, Refractive Index, Microbiological Examination, Residual Solvent-Solid, Residual-Liquid, Optical Rotation, Elemental Purities, Chromatography UPLC-Liquid, Sterility, Microbial Enumeration, Spectroscopy-FTIR and many more.
