Bioanalytical Activities
Bioanalytical assay development is considerably informed by the details on protein binding and in vivo/in vitro metabolism along with essential aspects of prior work on the method. Bioanalytical assays play a crucial role in the discovery and development of pharmaceutical products given their ability to discern purity, identity, performance, and potency of these compounds. Furthermore, the involved techniques allow reproducible and reliable quantitation of analytes in various biological matrices, such as plasma, urine, blood, or serum.
Bioanalytical assay development helps determine the design implications, limitations, favorable conditions, and suitability of a drug for the intended treatment. Before assay development and validation can be initiated, it is recommended to understand the physiochemical properties of the analyte.
The selectivity and sensitivity of bioanalytical assays developed for drug and metabolite quantitation thoroughly impact the success of preclinical and clinical studies. Thus, careful sample preparation, Instrument column, and mobile phase selection, and choice of detector and quantitation method are critical during LC-MS assay development.
