Principles of biological standardization and the conduct of collaborative studies to establish international standards.
Principles of biological standardisation, based on the use of international standards, are discussed. Procedures are outlined for checking that a material has the properties required of a standard ie uniformity, stability and suitability to serve as a measure for biological activity. Particular consideration is given to the work involved in collaborative studies which are carried out to assess the suitability of a candidate standard to serve as a yardstick for the measurement of the biological activity of test samples likely to be assayed against it.
