Classification of Bioassay Measurements
Bioassay measurements can be classified according to the primary reason for their
performance. This is a useful practice for historically documenting why a worker
participated in a bioassay program. Numerous reasons for bioassay measurements
may be defined for specific facilities; some suggested common classifications are as
follows:
