Assay and Repeatability Calculator

Calculate mg per unit and % of label claim for every sample from its own weight, with the mean and repeatability %RSD for method validation.

How to use

Four steps, or fewer

  1. Enter the standard preparation and paste its replicate responses.
  2. Enter the sample dilution volume, average unit weight and label claim.
  3. Paste each sample’s weight and response. Use the actual weight of each preparation.
  4. Check mean assay and %RSD against your limits, then print the report.

Theory & criteria

How the assay is calculated

Each sample is compared with the mean standard response. Using each preparation’s own weight avoids a common spreadsheet error where one weight is copied down the column.

C_std = W_std × P / DF_std
mg/unit = (A_spl / Ā_std) × C_std × DF_spl × average weight / W_spl
% label claim = mg/unit / label claim × 100

Repeatability (ICH Q2(R2))

Repeatability is assessed with at least six determinations at 100% of the test concentration, or nine determinations covering the range (three levels, three replicates each). A %RSD of ≤ 2.0% is a common acceptance criterion for drug product assays.
