AAPS Crystal City III revisited

Last February the issue of Incurred Sample Reproducibility was extensively discussed at the AAPS meeting in Crystal City: AAPS Workshop on Current Topics in GLP Bioanalysis: Assay Reproducibility for Incurred Samples—Implications of Crystal City Recommendations.


Is was a good meeting albeit disappointing to learn that apperently the FDA had made up their mind prior to the meeting and that despite all the inpute from BA scientists they could not be convinced to see it differently. Most of the slides have in the mean time been made available via the AAPS website. Of special interest is of course the summary slide deck.
