The regulatory authorities must be given detailed information on the composition of the technical grade material before the agrochemicals may be registered. This comprises active component content, relevant impurities, significant impurities, and other potential constituents such as residual solvents, metal contaminants, and so on. Regulatory authorities are frequently given this information in the form of a 5-batch analysis report. As a result, the 5-batch analysis report becomes a requirement for any technical material registration. Because of this, the 5-batch analysis report’s quality becomes extremely crucial. This quality is achieved by thoroughly screening the material for all important impurities, confidently assigning structural information to each impurity, and delivering the most reliable quantitative data.
To accomplish this, Mavens often begins the 5-Batch analysis with a pre-screening of the material’s overall composition, which includes active component content analysis, impurity profile, and toxicologically important impurity analysis, when applicable. Following that, the technical material will be subjected to the standard 5-batch analysis.
The five batch analysis studies are organised in the following order:
Pre-screening of 5-batches for impurities including 3D screening
Impurity identification and structure elucidation in consultation with the sponsor
Isolation/synthesis of impurities required for 5-batch analysis
GLP analysis of 5-batches using validated analytical methods for active ingredient content and impurities
Characterization of 5 commercial batches along with reference standards by UV, IR, NMR, LC-MS/MS and/or GC-MS as applicable
