Bioassays are used to demonstrate that a biologic product performs per the stated function and potency. Typically, these methods are performed in living systems. Cell-based methods can have inherent variable due to the nature of living systems. Minimizing potential variability can be achieved through careful documentation and analysis of assay performance on control charts. Monitoring numerous parameters may assist laboratory scientists, laboratory managers, QC and QA personnel identify and manage trends that could lead to OOS/OOT results. Since the number of parameters evaluated is dependent on the cell-type, assay-type, and number of critical component or reagents, this webinar will provide a general overview of the topic as well as specific examples of successful monitoring of cell-based methods leading to reduced assay failures.
