mVadvisor incorporates validation advice based on internationally agreed best practice. It also includes calculation tools that help users decide on the appropriate number of replicates, and decide on the optimal uncertainty for their particular application. The software includes support for validation planning based on the ICH series of protocols appropriate for regulatory work in the pharmaceutical industry.

mVadvisor is also effective as a training tool. The glossary, definitions and explanations of method validation terminology and concepts allow new users to develop a structured approach to validation planing and develop an awareness of the rationale for appropriate choice of experimental conditions. The replicate calculator provides an interactive introduction to the process of selecting replicate numbers, while the �false response rate� calculator interactively demonstrates the practical effects of improved uncertainty.

mVadvisor complements VAM�s other method validation products, including mVal. mVadvisor provides protocol descriptions in XML format, allowing mVal users to copy, save and import their plans without the need to transfer detailed settings.
