Introduction to Bioassay
Bioassay is a biological standardization method used to estimate the potency of substances by measuring their biological effects on living matter...
Basic Principles
1. Comparative measurement against standard preparations
2. Use of living biological systems (in vivo/in vitro)
3. Quantitative assessment of pharmacological effects
4. Statistical analysis of dose-response relationships
Main Applications
- Drug potency determination
- Quality control of pharmaceuticals
- Toxicity testing
- Hormone assays
- Vitamin potency assessment
Types of Bioassays
1. Direct Assays: Quantal response measurements
2. Indirect Assays: Graded response measurements
3. Bracketing Assays: Comparison with standard samples
4. Matching Assays: Direct matching to known concentrations
Advantages and Limitations
Advantages: Measures actual biological activity, essential for complex substances
Limitations: Time-consuming, requires specialized skills, biological variability
