Title: Risk assessment, definition, characterization and control of critical reagents in biomarker assays

Making the right interpretation of biomarker data relies on the expertise of the scientist and the quality of the measurement methods. Well-established reagents are key to achieving assay robustness, specificity and sensitivity.

During the 2019 AAPS PharmSci 360, Hanna Ritzén, Managing Director R&D at Mercodia, will present Risk assessment, definition, characterization and control of critical reagents in biomarker assays in Classroom 5, Hall 234 on Tuesday (Nov 5th) at noon. Take the opportunity to learn more about critical reagents and the benefits of reagent characterization and control for your bioanalytical strategy.

Hanna Ritzén has worked with LBAs and critical reagents in a regulated setting for more than 15 years, and she will provide real-world examples of controlling reagents in problem-solving and managing lot-to-lot consistency strategies. How do we define critical reagents? Can we generalize? Why do we need to spend time on reagent characterization? How do we know that our control is enough? What do we do when we meet the unexpected?

After the presentation you are invited to our Partner Reception, giving you an opportunity to mingle with peers and discuss further with Hanna Ritzén and other Mercodia representatives.

See you in Classroom 5, Hall 234 on Nov 5th at noon!
