Research and Development (R&D) Laboratory
- Focuses on innovative strategies to enhance bioanalytical methodologies that can be applied to pharmacology testing and transferred to CPLs where appropriate.
-
Assay Development, Validation and Implementation
- Development of bioanalytical methods for a variety of therapeutics, such as ARVs, TB drugs, and antibodies
- Quantification and structural fidelity of therapeutic antibodies, including post-translational modifications and identification
- Assays are also used for pre-qualification of proficiency testing samples.
-
Biomatrices for Pharmacology Testing
- Validation of assays in various matrices, for example plasma, whole blood, urine
Reagents Laboratory
This lab provides CPQA's ANAB 17043 accredited Proficiency Testing program for antiretrovirals.
- Certified reference materials are used in the production of proficiency testing samples.
- As needed, compendial testing is performed to provide a Certificate of Analysis.
To access Compendial Testing, sign in to the Frontier Science portal and click CPQA Documentation.
Quality Control Laboratory
This lab provides quality control samples for CPLs during method development, new instrument calibration, and external blinded samples for method verification.
Quality control samples can be requested by emailing cpqasupport@fstrf.org
