Here we will outline what a bioassay is, and how a bioassay can be used to effectively determine the concentration and potency of a biological substance. We’ll also discuss the types of platforms that best support bioassay needs and how BioAgilytix brings a differentiated level of expertise to the bioassay services we provide.
Bioassay is a biochemical test that calculates the relative potency of a sample compound to a standard compound. By definition, a bioassay is the “determination of the relative strength of a substance (as a drug) by comparing its effect on a test organism with that of a standard preparation.” Bioassays are used to measure the biological activity and effects of a substance, like a hormone or drug, on a living organism such as a living plant (in vivo) or tissue or cell (in vitro).
Bioassay services are most often employed to determine the concentration or purity of substances including vitamin, hormone, or plant growth factor by measuring their effect on tissue, cells, enzymes, or receptors. The general approach involves measuring the biological response of the live material at several doses, to understand the dose-response relation.
As such, the advantage of the bioassay testing procedure is that it can help determine both the concentration and potency of a sample, which is necessary for regulatory submission and lot release testing of biopharmaceutical products.
The primary purposes of bioassays are to measure the pharmacological activity of new or chemically undefined substances, as well as to determine side-effect profiles, including toxicity.
Bioassays are key in determining the potency and stability of a drug substance or product in order to establish its safety and efficacy profile. Today, they are an important component in effectively controlling the quality of biopharmaceuticals for lot release testing and manufacture.
