Aim: Recombinant FGF21 analogs are under wide ranging investigations as a potential therapeutic agent for Type 2 diabetes, as well as other metabolic disorders. The endogenous FGF21 is often used as a surrogate pharmacodynamic(PD) biomarker to assess drug efficacy and safety. Results & methodology: Immunocapture was performed using a monoclonal antibody which had been generated […]
Aim: This work presents a label-free platform for dopamine (DA) monitoring based on the spectroscopic properties of laccase. Results: Working in batch mode, DA ranging from 25 to 250 μM, can be determined without the interference of norepinephrine and epinephrine. Laccase immobilized in a polyacrylamide film is the basis of a platform for the label-free

Saliva, as the first body fluid encountering with the exogenous materials, has good correlation with blood and plays an important role in bioanalysis. However, saliva has not been studied as much as the other biological fluids mainly due to restricted access to its large volumes. In recent years, there is a growing interest for saliva
With the advent of the high-throughput technologies and exciting times for biology, the discipline of analytical methodology is experiencing a surge in the growth and the scope. Over the years, multitude of analytical techniques have evolved from a work-intensive, low sensitivity and high volume of reagent and sample consumption endeavor to automated, better selectivity, lower
Quantitative bioanalytical data are crucial in pharmaceutical research and development, allowing project teams to make informed scientific decisions on the progression of candidate molecules to medicines. Many challenges are often encountered during the bioanalysis of drugs in biological matrices which require resolution in a timely manner. In this publication, guidance is provided to bioanalytical scientists
Aim: Differential pulse polarography was used for the concurrent analysis of the coadministered dantrolene (DAN) and indomethacin (IND) in plasma. Materials & methods: DAN and IND, Hanging mercury drop electrode and Britton–Robinson buffer at pH 5 were used. In plasma, cathodic reduction of DAN nitro group and its active metabolite at -0.2 V was done.
Aim: Transdermal analysis is proposed for vitamin D3 and its hydroxylated metabolite to overcome problems associated with blood analysis. Methods: Vitamin D3 was extracted directly from skin with solid patches and liquid phases. Deuterium-labeled vitamin D3 was added to the extraction solutions to compensate for variability and accurately determine the rate of transdermal transfer. Of
Internal standards are essential to ensure the reliability of chromatographic bioanalytical methods. However, this only holds true if the response of the internal standard is adequately monitored. A difference needs to be made between isolated variations in a limited number of samples, which can be easily handled using objective criteria triggering the re-analysis of the
Internal standard response is routinely monitored in regulated studies to accept or reject individual samples with outlier results due to potential sample processing or instrumentation errors, and processes are typically governed by standard operating procedures. However, acceptance or rejection of individual samples is not always sufficient. Internal standard response trends and substantial systemic differences between
