Brendan Technologies CTO To Make Presentation to Regulatory Organization on Drug Release Testing.United States Pharmacopeia United States Pharmacopeia /Unit·ed States Phar·ma·co·peia/ (USP) a legally recognized compendium of standards for drugs, published by The United States Pharmacopeial Convention, Inc., and revised periodically. (USP USP - unique sales point ) Bioassay Bioassay A method for the quantitation of the effects on a biological system by its exposure to a substance, as well as the quantitation of the concentration of a substance by some observable effect on a biological system. Workshop To Be Held At the USP Headquarters in Rockville, Maryland Rockville is the county seat of Montgomery County, Maryland, United States. According to the 2006 census update, the city had a total population of 59,114, making it the second largest city in Maryland. , August 13 - 14 CARLSBAD, Calif. -- Dr. John Dunn For the poet, see . John Dunn can refer to:
The USP is the official public standards-setting authority for all prescription and over-the-counter medicines sold in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. . Dr. Dunn's presentation will focus on the three methods currently used by the industry for critical drug potency tests that are required for drug release testing. Dr. Dunn made a presentation on the same topic at the IBC IBC International Building Code IBC Iraq Body Count IBC Institutional Biosafety Committee IBC Inflammatory Breast Cancer IBC International Business Company IBC Independence Blue Cross IBC Insurance Bureau of Canada IBC International Broadcasting Convention Biological Assay Development and Validation conference in San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden in May 2008. He has also been working with members of the European Pharmacopeia pharmacopeia /phar·ma·co·pe·ia/ (-ko-pe´ah) an authoritative treatise on drugs and their preparations. See also USP. pharmacopei´al United States Pharmacopeia see under U. on this topic. 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 abbr.

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. About Brendan Technologies, Inc.
