Stanley B. Prusiner

My three years at the NIH were critical in my scientific education. I learned an immense amount about the research process: developing assays, purifying macromolecules, documenting a discovery by many approaches, and writing clear manuscripts describing what is known and what remains to be investigated.

American Scientist

John Vane

Plainly, when perfusate from an organ or blood from an animal is used for superfusion, substances can reach the assay tissues within a few seconds of generation or release.

English Scientist

John Hersey

It's a failure of national vision when you regard children as weapons, and talents as materials you can mine, assay, and fabricate for profit and defense.

American Writer

Used when precision is important, often in a scientific or technical context.

Scientific Precision

Most commonly used to refer to testing metals and minerals, especially for purity.

Metals and Minerals

Verb form is technical and used mainly by specialists in fields like chemistry or geology.

Technical Context

Implies obtaining measurable results from a test regarding quality or content.

Quantifiable Results

Use the verb form to add an old-fashioned, literary touch to your writing.

Literary Flair

In modern English, this usage is rare and can seem archaic or poetic.

Rare and Archaic

Used in academia to refer to a detailed analysis of historical events.

Historical Insight

Historically used to evaluate performances, such as in sport or theater.

 or playing somebody with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, we use that as a kind of biosensor, and then we use computer programs to model that person, and it gives us a kind of assay of this. Early days, and we're just beginning, we're setting up sites around the world. Here are a few of our collaborating sites.

 as does every infant at the time of normal, natural full-term birth. If we were to assay her perceptual abilities, they would be crude. There is no real indication that there is any real thinking going on. In fact there is little evidence that there is any cognitive ability in a very young infant.

 that will also stick to HCG on one of its five binding sites. Scientists call this type of test a sandwich assay. If HCG is present, it gets sandwiched between the AB1 enzyme and AB2, and sticks to the test zone, allowing the attached dye-activating enzyme to do its job

 and screen them in your assay and then find out what gene is affected in the mutation. So doing the screen, we discovered one mutant that took much longer than normal to calm down after the air puffs, and when we examined the gene that was affected in this mutation,

 you realize that the diseased ones, which is represented in the red line, are two and a half times more likely to die than the healthy counterpart. And the crucial point about this is that you then have a fantastic assay to discover drugs,

 So we look at lab assays, animal models, and so we understand which things should be prioritized for these very quick human trials that need to be done all over the world. So the coordination on that is very complex, globally.

 How can we investigate this flora of viruses that surround us, and aid medicine? How can we turn our cumulative knowledge of virology into a simple, hand-held, single diagnostic assay?
