Bioassay definition

Bioassay means the determination of kinds, quantities or concentrations, and, in some cases, the locations of radioactive material in the human body, whether by direct measurement, in vivo counting, or by analysis and evaluation of materials excreted or removed from the human body. For purposes of these regulations, "radiobioassay" is an equivalent term.

Bioassay means the determination of kinds, quantities or concentrations, and the locations of radioactive material in the human body, whether by direct measurement, in-vivo counting, or by analysis and evaluation of materials excreted or removed from the human body. This term includes “radiobioassay.”

Bioassay means a method of determining toxic effects of industrial wastes and other wastewaters by using viable organisms;
