System Suitability Testing (SST) Foundation Course

Description

System Suitability Testing (SST) Foundation Course

This course provides a practical foundation in System Suitability Testing (SST), a critical requirement for ensuring analytical system performance before and during routine analysis. Participants will learn how to design, evaluate, and troubleshoot SST parameters to ensure reliable, reproducible, and compliant analytical results. The course emphasizes regulatory expectations, data integrity, and the role of SST in maintaining method performance across the analytical lifecycle.

Key Learning Areas

• Fundamentals of System Suitability Testing
  Understanding the purpose of SST, when and how it is performed, and its role in ensuring system readiness prior to sample analysis.
• Key SST Parameters & Acceptance Criteria
  Evaluating parameters such as resolution, tailing factor, theoretical plates, repeatability, and signal-to-noise ratio, along with setting appropriate acceptance limits.
• Regulatory Expectations & Compliance
  Overview of regulatory guidance and industry practices related to SST, including documentation and audit readiness.
• Integration with Analytical Methods
  Linking SST requirements to method performance, validation, and routine quality control testing.
• Troubleshooting SST Failures
  Identifying root causes of SST failures (instrumental, method-related, or operational) and implementing corrective actions.
• Data Integrity & Documentation
  Ensuring accurate recording, review, and traceability of SST results in line with data integrity principles.
• Lifecycle Approach to SST
  Maintaining ongoing system performance through routine monitoring, trend analysis, and continuous improvement.
