Developing bioassays is a vortex of quality, statistics and good science. It's tough to keep up with new approaches, understand the basic regulatory requirements and meanwhile keep your projects moving forward.

IBC's 23rd International Biological Assay conference is the answer for all bioassay professionals; it provides education, practical advice and a hard look at the new evolving standards.

This is the conference where new approaches emerge and coalesce.

• Identify developing, problematic trends by using new emerging tools such as the Z' statistic and assay monitoring
• Comply with regulatory requirements efficiently without wasting precious resources
• Benchmark expected assay performance goals against industry leaders

New Case Studies Designed to Keep You at the Cutting Edge of Bioassay Science

• Develop an Analytical Cell Bank with the Right Quality System To Support its Manufacture
• Efficient Optimization of Stable and Robust Plates for Bioassays With Z' statistic
• Overcome the Main Challenge with Equivalence Testing: Establishing Goal Posts
• Maximize Design of Experiments (DOE) for Development, Optimization, Validation Strategies
• Bridge Assays When New Methods Give Different Results
• Establish Early Acceptance Criteria To Initiate a Statistical Process Control (SPC) Program

Plus, Two New Practical, Not-To-Be-Missed Pre-Conference Workshops:
