An assay is a procedure in molecular biology for testing and/or measuring the activity of a drug or biochemical in an organism or organic sample. A quantitative assay may also measure the amount of a substance in a sample. Bioassays and immunoassays are among the many varieties of specialized biochemical assays. Other assays measure processes such as enzyme activity, antigen capture, stem cell activity, and competitive protein binding.
A cytotoxicity assay measures how toxic a chemical compound is to cells.
Assays for studying interactions of proteins with DNA include:
A cell-counting assay, may determine the number of living cells, the number of dead cells, or the ratio of one cell type to another. One example of a cell-counting assay is a blood cell count.
The HPCE-based viral titer assay uses a proprietary, high-performance capillary electrophoresis system to determine baculovirus...
