What is a bioassay?

A bioassay is a laboratory test used to measure the effects of a substance on a living organism or a biological system. It is a quantitative method that involves exposing a biological sample to a specific concentration of a substance and measuring the response of the organism or system. Bioassays are commonly used in pharmacology, toxicology, and environmental science to determine the potency, toxicity, or effectiveness of a drug, chemical, or environmental pollutant.

A bioassay is a test that measures the potency or concentration of a substance by observing its effect on a living organism. This test can be used to determine the toxicity of a substance, its effect on a specific biological process, or its concentration in a sample. Bioassays can be conducted on a variety of organisms, including bacteria, yeast, plants, and animals.
