  2. Immunoassay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoassay

    An immunoassay (IA) is a biochemical test that measures the presence or concentration of a macromolecule or a small molecule in a solution through the use of an antibody (usually) or an antigen (sometimes).

  3. Bioassay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioassay

    A bioassay is a biochemical test to estimate the potency of a sample compound. Usually this potency can only be measured relative to a standard compound. [3] [1] A typical bioassay involves a stimulus (ex. drugs) applied to a subject (ex. animals, tissues, plants). The corresponding response (ex. death) of the subject is thereby triggered and ...

  4. Immunocytochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunocytochemistry

    Immunocytochemistry labels individual proteins within cells, such as TH (green) in the axons of sympathetic autonomic neurons.. Immunocytochemistry (ICC) is a common laboratory technique that is used to anatomically visualize the localization of a specific protein or antigen in cells by use of a specific primary antibody that binds to it.

  5. Outline of biochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_biochemistry

    Testing Ames test – salmonella bacteria is exposed to a chemical under question (a food additive, for example), and changes in the way the bacteria grows are measured. This test is useful for screening chemicals to see if they mutate the structure of DNA and by extension identifying their potential to cause cancer in humans.

  6. High-throughput screening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-throughput_screening

    High-throughput screening (HTS) is a method for scientific discovery especially used in drug discovery and relevant to the fields of biology, materials science [1] and chemistry. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Using robotics , data processing/control software, liquid handling devices, and sensitive detectors, high-throughput screening allows a researcher to ...

  7. Molecular diagnostics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_diagnostics

    Specialist using "QIAsymphony", an automation platform for molecular diagnostic tests. Molecular diagnostics is a collection of techniques used to analyze biological markers in the genome and proteome, and how their cells express their genes as proteins, applying molecular biology to medical testing.

  8. ELISA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELISA

    As an analytical biochemistry assay and a "wet lab" technique, ELISA involves detection of an analyte (i.e., the specific substance whose presence is being quantitatively or qualitatively analyzed) in a liquid sample by a method that continues to use liquid reagents during the analysis (i.e., controlled sequence of biochemical reactions that will generate a signal which can be easily ...

  9. Phenotypic screening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenotypic_screening

    Phenotypic screening is a type of screening used in biological research and drug discovery to identify substances such as small molecules, peptides, or RNAi that alter the phenotype of a cell or an organism in a desired manner. [1]
