Method Validation is the process which is established, through laboratory studies, that the performance characteristics of the method meet the requirements for its intended purpose.
typical analytical characteristics used in method validation, commonly referred to as the “eight steps of method validation”
(1). Specificity.
(2). Linearity.
(3). Range.
(4). Limit of detection (LOD).
(5). Limit of Quantitation (LOQ).
(6). Accuracy.
(7). Precision.
(8) Robustness.
