This document summarizes four case studies involving issues with bioanalytical method validation: 1) An analyst constructed standard curves inconsistently between assay runs, using a varying number of calibration standards. 2) An analytical method was used for multiple studies over many years without re-validation, despite changes in equipment and assay conditions. 3) Subject concentration-time curves showed implausible "U-shaped" profiles, indicating an unresolved analytical problem. 4) Hundreds of samples were rendered below the lower limit of quantification due to the laboratory failing to specify and follow procedures for sample acidification using hydrochloric acid. The document emphasizes that proper standard operating procedures, ongoing method monitoring,
