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.
