Key benefits include:
Compliance with GMP and ICH guidelines
Reduction of human and systematic errors
Support for regulatory registration and product licensing
Enhancing the credibility of R&D data
Analytical method development
Performance evaluation: accuracy, precision, LOD, LOQ, linearity, specificity
Conducting controlled testing
Full documentation and validation reporting
Herbal drug validation requires more specialized approaches due to complex plant matrices and biological variability.
Lack of reference standards
Environmental effects on plant materials
Complex extraction methods
Growing role of AI and advanced analytical technologies like HPLC, GC-MS, FTIR
Laboratory validation is essential for the successful development and commercialization of safe, high-quality pharmaceuticals—especially in the growing herbal medicine sector.
