The phrase "assay category" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to scientific testing, particularly in fields like chemistry or biology, where different types of assays are classified.
Example: "In our research, we have identified several assay categories that help streamline the testing process."
Alternatives: "test classification" or "analysis type".
Therefore, the multiple-conformer effects upon the 3-D similarity score of the NN pairs should be considered as independent of the assay category.
Tables 3 and 4 also clearly show that, in general, there is no clear statistically meaningful separation across assays or assay category type using a single conformer per compound.
Using the terminology of noninactive-noninactive (NN) pairs and the noninactive-inactive (NI) pairs to represent comparison of the "active/active" and "active/inactive" spaces, respectively, each of the 1,389 biological assays was examined by their 3-D similarity score differences between the NN and NI pairs and analyzed across all assays and by assay category types.

Matson et al. [5] pooled individuals across species and reported a general among-individual pattern, which parallels assay category.
This chemical assay category score indicates specificity of a chemical to affect assays within a given assay category over other categories.
For example, while there is clearly a positive average of NN-NI difference across all similarity score types for all assays and all assay categories, ranging from 0.00-0.13 0.00-0.13TNN-NI)], the corresponding standard deviation oforhe average [i.e., "σ[μ[XTNN-NI)]"] is consistently larger than the average value.
Table 2 lists the assay categories (major types of assays).
Assay categories are described in detail in the Results section.
Univariate analyses linking chemical structure fragments to assay categories (based on AC50s ≥10 μM) revealed 107 associations for 84 unique chemical fragments and 9 assay categories.
Assays were assigned to assay categories (Table 1) for further analysis.
