Clinical Trial Whole Blood Drug Quantitation Testing
The Clinical Trial Whole Blood Drug Quantitation Testing is a critical service provided to support pharmaceutical companies in their drug development and regulatory compliance processes. This testing ensures that the drug concentrations within whole blood samples are accurately quantified, which is essential for determining safety, efficacy, and proper dosing during clinical trials.
During clinical trials, precise quantitation of drugs in whole blood can help researchers understand how a drug behaves in vivo, including its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) characteristics. Accurate quantitation allows for the monitoring of therapeutic drug levels to ensure that patients receive appropriate dosages while minimizing potential side effects.
The testing process begins with the collection of whole blood samples from participants. These samples are then prepared according to strict protocols designed to preserve the integrity of the biological material and prevent contamination. Following sample preparation, the quantitation is performed using validated analytical methods such as liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
The results from these tests are highly accurate and reliable, providing crucial data for regulatory submissions. Compliance with international standards like ISO 15189 and ICH Q2 is paramount in ensuring the quality of this testing service.
Our laboratory adheres to stringent quality control measures, including regular method validation studies, proficiency testing programs, and internal audits. This commitment ensures that we provide consistent and high-quality results every time.
