Neil Ashby
: I agree but only with "....active substance", "active pharmaceutical INGREDIENT" is not a typical collocation in the UK

evaluation of active ingredient
a pesar de que se puede usar "assay" por lo general la literatura sobre el tema utiliza más "evaluation"

Discussion
http://www.ema.europa.eu/docs/en_GB/document_library/Regulat...
However, for pharmaceutical texts, "drug substance" is the preferred term:
U S. Pharmacopeia:
The purpose of the Assay test is to quantify **drug substance** content
http://www.usp.org/pdf/EN/USPNF/chapter1.pdf
FDA:
In many cases it is possible to employ the same procedure (e.g., HPLC) for both assay of the new **drug substance** and quantitation of impurities.
http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInforma...
Note that "active ingredient" is not recommended any more (see first link).
