Newly Published Bioassay Application Notes 


Through a collaboration with Promega, Charles River has recently published two application notes looking at the development, validation and application of bioassays.  The articles can be found at the below links.Application of TNFα Blocker Bioassays in a QC Environment

Validation and Comparability Studies with ADCC Reporter Bioassays


Potency determination is necessary for regulatory submission and lot release of all biopharmaceutical products. Bioassays are used to determine the potency of a biopharmaceutical by comparing the biological response related to its mode of action with that of a control preparation. The data generated by bioassays are typically analyzed using biostatistical methods.

With extensive experience in establishing, validating and conducting routine bioassays to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, Charles River Biopharmaceutical Services (BPS) has the capability to perform a comprehensive array of both in vitro and in vivo bioassays for a variety of biologically active molecules.
