Brendan has incorporated all three methods used under discussion in its new STATLIA Quantum software. Brendan developed one of the methods, which uses a powerful new statistical approach, to solve the limitations of the other methods. Dr. Dunn and Dr. Paul Gottschalk, Brendan's product development director, published a paper on this method titled "Measuring Parallelism, Linearity, and Relative Potency in Bioassay and Immunoassay Immunoassay

An assay that quantifies antigen or antibody by immunochemical means. The antigen can be a relatively simple substance such as a drug, or a complex one such as a protein or a virus.
 Data," in the Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics in 2005. One of the top twenty pharmaceutical companies made a presentation on its use of this method during the Biological Assay conference. Both presentations are available on Brendan's Web site, www.brendan.com.

Brendan has been an innovative leader in the computation and analysis of immunoassays and bioassays, developing and perfecting several new methodologies and analytical processes. STATLIA provides an advanced graphical presentation of the analysis and an automated design that saves time in the life science markets and drug development process by increasing productivity and improving assay performance through better accuracy and analysis.

Background on Immunoassay Testing

Immunoassays are highly sensitive Adj. 1. highly sensitive - readily affected by various agents; "a highly sensitive explosive is easily exploded by a shock"; "a sensitive colloid is readily coagulated"  and specific chemical tests used to detect and quantify extremely minute substances in blood, body fluid and other biological samples, using an immunological reaction. These tests measure the formation of antibody-antigen complexes and detect them via an indicator reaction. Their high specificity results from the use of antibodies and purified antigens as reagents. High sensitivity is achieved by using an indicator system that results in amplification of the measured product. Immunoassays may be qualitative (positive or negative) or quantitative (amount measured).

Immunoassays are one of the world's largest and fastest growing testing technologies used to diagnose diseases, discover new chemical entities and biological products, provide vital data in the development of drugs in FDA FDA

 clinical trials, and assist in quality control of drug manufacturing and drug screening. It is also one of the largest technologies used in environmental testing. Currently, $50 billion is spent globally on immunoassay testing, with approximately $1 billion of that being spent on immunoassay software.
