The following information is about Cell Based Assays.

Cell Based Assays Defined

The term is used to refer to any of a number of different experiments based on the use of live cells. This is a general definition and can include a variety of assays that measure cell proliferation, toxicity, motility, production of a measurable product, and morphology. Cell-based assays offer a more accurate representation of the real-life model since live cells are used, and also offer the possibility of a dynamic experiment through monitoring the numbers or behavior of the live cells. Thus, they provide a framework to determine the changes an external factor may exert on overall cellular function and viability.

This definition is in context to Science. See more contextual defintions for Cell Based Assays.
