Lecture
Compulsory Course
- in BSc Applied Biology, 4th Semester
- 2h/week (1L/1E/0P)
- Credits: 3 ECTS
Learning outcomes:
At the end of the lecture the students are able:
- to understand the principles of the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).
- to describe GMP is an international requested documentation system in the areas of finished medicinal products and cosmetics.
- to implement this knowledge within the bounds of production and quality control of the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry.
- to control the processes’ validity and their robustness.
- to control the efficiency of the performance of analytical equipment by using validated documentation systems.
Content:
- Basic concept and requests of Good Manufacturing Practice
- Admission procedure of finished medicinal products (Specification and examination regulations)
- Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
- Production (Staff, rooms, process control)
- Production (Cleaning- and process validation)
- Quality control (Sampling, reagents, standards, methods, documentation, ooS results)
- Quality control (staff, training, job description, double check, audits)
- Quality control (Stability testing)
- Qualification of analytical equipment (Planing/types of tests: GAP, FMEA, V-Modell)
- Qualification of a climate chamber (practical realisation)
Exercises
Learning outcomes:
- The students are able to organize independently the planning and control to carry out validity and qualification under the aspect of quality assurance and to report about it.
Content:
- Creation of a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)
- Creation of a performance test for an analytical equipment
- Realization of a raw data check
Requirements
none
Recommendations: Passing of the modules Computing Science, General Chemistry, Physics/Statistics, Instrumental Analysis
Passing of module – graded
The successful participation is demonstrated by working out the weekly lab exercises and a written examination at the end of the semester. The total grade of the module is comprised of a written exam about the content of the lecture and the exercises, which has to be passed with at least 50 % of the total points.
