Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Potency testing involves comparison of a product’s biological activity to that of a reference preparation and cell-based potency assays are central tools used to measure drug efficacy during potency testing. They allow scientists to see how a particular dose of a drug will react in a given biological system.

Detailed explanation-2: -Potency (strength) refers to the amount of drug (usually expressed in milligrams) needed to produce an effect, such as relief of pain or reduction of blood pressure. For instance, if 5 milligrams of drug A relieves pain as effectively as 10 milligrams of drug B, drug A is twice as potent as drug B.
