Types of Assays
Chemical Assays: Spectrophotometry,
Spectrofluorimetry, Chromatography,
Immunoassays
Microbiological assays
Definition
Estimation of the concentration / potency of a
substance by measuring its biological response
in living systems
i.e.Observation of pharmacological effects on
[1] living tissues, or cells
[2] microorganisms
[3] animals
Principles of Bioassay
Active principle to be assayed should show the same measured
response in all animal species
The degree of pharmacological response produced should be
reproducible under identical conditions [Eg Adrenaline shows
same rise in BP in the same species under identical conditions:
wt, age, sex, strain / breed etc]
The reference standard must owe its activity to the principle for
which the sample is being bioassayed
Activity assayed should be the activity of interest
Individual variations must be minimised / accounted for
Bioassay might measure a diff aspect of the same substance
compared to chemical assay [Eg testosterone & metabolites
Types of Bioassays
[1] Quantal Assays [ Direct endpoint ]
Elicits an All or None response in different animals
