# Method validation

Method validation is the process of demonstrating that an analytical procedure is suitable for its intended purpose. Characteristics assessed include specificity, accuracy, precision, linearity, range, limit of detection, limit of quantitation and robustness, as described in ICH Q2 guidance. Validated HPLC methods support reliable purity results.
