Similar the Roberto’s example above, I have experience with method validation and verifications in my past work experience. At the pharmaceutical company I was working at one summer, I was tasked to optimize a method my company used to separate monoclonal antibodies from unreacted starting product. About halfway through the summer, I had come up with a new method that that preformed the required task. However, it was deemed too expensive a process and I was tasked with finding a cheaper alternative. By the end of the summer, I proposed another method that was both an improvement upon the original method and more cost effective than the first alternative. This was an example of validation of a method because it achieved the overall goal of the project. However, it wasn’t initially verified due to the change in financial restrictions placed upon the task.
