About this Training Seminar:
CHI’s Bioassay Training Seminar provides a comprehensive presentation of the most important aspect of CMC and drug development the measurement of biological activity or potency. Learn about best practices for bioassay design, determining doses
and plate layout, replicate strategy, outlier detection and removal. The courses also covers how to determine validity criteria, reference selection and systems suitability. Case studies for a variety of cell therapy, gene therapy and other therapeutic
proteins will be presented.
A full presentation on bioassay method validation, including, robustness, linearity, repeatability, intermediate precision, accuracy, range and specificity. Study design, method of analysis and acceptance criteria are all presented.
The Following Topics Will Be Covered:
- Bioassay Design
- Dose Ranging
- 4PL fitting
- PLA and dose masking
- DOE for signal optimization
- Replicate Strategy
- Selection of Validity and Systems Suitability
- Calculator Design
- Outlier detection and removal, confidence intervals
- Qualification and Validation of Bioassay
- Study 1
- Repeatability
- Linearity
- Accuracy
- Range
- Study 2
- Study 3

Development and Method Validation, statistical process control, mixture design of experiments, Stability Analysis and Nonlinear Modeling. These courses are used by a variety of fortune 100+ companies to train their chemists, engineers and scientists.
WHAT IS A TRAINING SEMINAR?
Each CHI Training Seminar offers 1.5 days of instruction, refreshment breaks, exhibit hall functions, and lunch for all registered attendees on the full day of the class. Each person registered for the Training Seminar will be
provided with a hard copy handbook for the Training Seminar in which they are registered. A limited number of additional handbooks may be available for other delegates. CHI encourages track hopping between conference programs,
and we ask that Training Seminars not be disturbed once they have begun. We ask that attendees commit to attending the entire 1.5-day training, and not engage in track hopping once the class has started.
