Bioassay : Its importance and methology

Image
Bioassay is defined as the estimation of the potency of an active principle in a unit quantity of preparation or detection and measurement of the concentration of the substance in a preparation using biological methods (i.e. observation of pharmacological effects on living tissues, microorganisms or immune cells or animal). Hence micro bioassay, radioimmunoassay are also regarded as `bioassay'. Recently `biotechnology' has also been considered for bioassay. Bioassay of the products like erythropoietin, hepatitis- B vaccine etc. is being done through biotechnology. Importance of Bioassay Bioassays, as compared to other methods of assays (e.g. chemical or physical assay) are less accurate, less elaborate, more laborious, more troublesome and more expensive. However, bioassay is the only method of assay if
