According to FDA guidelines for method validation by LC-MS, which of the following is not a relevant parameter :

  • A.Accuracy
  • B.Precision
  • C.Retention
  • D.Carry over

Answer: C

The parameter that is not part of bioanalytical method validation is retention.

The US FDA's guidance on bioanalytical method validation for chromatographic methods such as LC-MS lists the parameters to be established: selectivity, accuracy, precision, sensitivity (the lower limit of quantification), the calibration curve, recovery, reproducibility, stability of the analyte, and for LC-MS also matrix effect, dilution integrity and carry-over.

Accuracy, precision and carry-over are therefore all validation parameters. Retention time is used to identify the analyte in a chromatogram, but it is a property of the analysis rather than one of the validation characteristics the guidance requires.
