The process of conducting toxicological assays involves several steps:
Selection of test material: Choosing the substance to be tested, ensuring it is representative of what will be encountered in real-world scenarios. Designing the experiment: Establishing the parameters of the assay, such as dose, duration, and endpoint measurements. Conducting the assay: Performing the test according to the experimental design, ensuring proper controls and replicates are included. Data analysis: Analyzing the results to determine the toxicological profile of the substance, often using statistical methods to interpret the data.
