Online Webinar 2019 - Live Webinar 60 minutes SOP's for Bioanalytical Methods Validation

Overview
Bioanalytical assays are used in a variety of laboratory contexts, from clinical laboratories, to research and development, to quality control and manufacturing. These laboratory assays have become crucial to the regular operations of all sorts of laboratories. However, each assay has particular pitfalls that makes transitioning from one assay to another difficult. Each type of bioanalytical assay has its own particular challenges and opportunities, and understanding where the opportunities are is key to making sure validations are successfully completed.
This assay will cover the three broad classes of bioanalytical assays: immunoassays, molecular assays and mass spectrophotometry based assays. We will look at the particular advantages and challenges in each class, how to operate within ease class and the key challenges in moving between classes. This will ensure that assay validation goes off without a hitch, and new assays can be deployed in a timely manner.
