Abstract:
Characterization of the stability of analytes in biological samples collected during clinical studies together with that of critical assay reagents, including analyte stock solutions, is recognized as an important component of bioanalytical assay validation. Deficiencies in these areas often come to light during regulatory inspections. Best practices, based on current regulatory guidance, for the assessment of these issues as they pertain to ligand binding and chromatographic assays are covered in this review. Additionally, consensus recommendations reached during the recent AAPS/FDA Workshop on bioanalytical assay validation are highlighted.
