Potency testing is the process of measuring biological activity in a product.
Potency testing is a term used to describe the process of measuring biological activity in a product. Many methods exist to determine the potency of a biopharmaceutical such as ligand and receptor binding assays, cell culture-based assays, and animal-based assays.
Determining potency is a very important step in the biopharmaceutical development cycle, requiring a significant amount of time and effort. In early development, binding assays are most often preferred, whereas toward the end of development, cell-based assays are preferred.
Once an assay to determine the potency has been developed it must be validated to prove it is suitable for its intended use. This usually requires demonstration proving accuracy and precision. Degradation studies are often commonly done to confirm stability.
