Bioanalytical Assay Stability Testing
In pharmaceutical development and manufacturing, bioanalytical assay stability testing is a critical step ensuring that analytical methods used to quantify drug substances in biological matrices are reliable over time. This service ensures that the assays employed remain accurate, precise, and robust throughout their intended use period. Ensuring method stability helps maintain regulatory compliance by demonstrating that test results are consistent across different batches or lots of a drug product.
Stability testing involves assessing how well the bioanalytical assay performs under various environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, light exposure, and time. The goal is to determine if changes in these factors affect the performance of the assay. For instance, understanding whether prolonged storage or extreme temperatures alter the accuracy and precision of results is crucial for ensuring product quality.
The process typically includes multiple batches of samples exposed to varying environmental conditions followed by evaluation using standardized criteria from relevant international standards like ISO 17025 and ICH Q6D. These guidelines provide clear instructions on how to design, conduct, and evaluate stability studies to ensure that the methods meet regulatory requirements.
Real-world applications of bioanalytical assay stability testing include:
- Ensuring that assays used in clinical trials remain consistent across different sites
- Evaluating the shelf-life of drug products by determining at what point degradation begins
- Demonstrating compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Clinical Practice (GCP)
