Assay Development and Validation Sample Clauses
The Assay Development and Validation clause outlines the responsibilities and procedures for creating and confirming the reliability of laboratory tests or analytical methods used in a project. It typically specifies which party is responsible for developing the assay, the standards or protocols to be followed, and the criteria for validating that the assay produces accurate and reproducible results. This clause ensures that all assays used in the collaboration are scientifically sound and meet agreed-upon quality standards, thereby minimizing the risk of unreliable data and supporting the integrity of the project outcomes.
Assay Development and Validation. Users provide detailed HTS assay protocols (reagent, buffer, timing, temp, and vol. etc), sufficient experimental data (Kd, Km, negative or positive control, DMSO resistance, assay stability, and safety issues etc), and any references in support of the proposed assay. Users clarify the availability of reagent supplies and cost limitations and can suggest equipment and special equipment requirements. Users will be made aware of what they should provide in order for the facility to have sufficient reagents to run their experiments. The assay validation process should meet the criteria of proving to be robust in at least 3 independent experiments (3 different days from different batches). Although HTAF will do best to accommodate Users’ need and time frame, screen schedule will be primarily based on the availability of HTAF.
