The phrase "assay description" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to scientific or technical fields, particularly in reference to the details or specifications of an assay, which is a procedure for measuring the presence or amount of a substance.
Example: "The assay description provided in the report outlines the methodology and expected outcomes of the experiment."
Alternatives: "assay details" or "assay specifications".
Genotyping assays were performed by each group separately [ 1] (see Table 1 for assay description).
The assay description and methods are available from the Pubchem Open Chemistry Database, bioassay record AID 743241 (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioassay/743241 section=Top).nih.gov/bioassay/743241 section=Top
Fenech M, Crott J, Turner J, Brown S. Necrosis, apoptosis, cytostasis and DNA damage in human lymphocytes measured simultaneously within the cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay: description of the method and results for hydrogen peroxide.
The "ChEMBL Database" meta-node returns ChEMBL retrieved data (ChEMBL ID., reference, bioactivity type, assay description, activity value, and smiles strings), the calculated descriptors, and fingerprints data sets.
At GVKBIO the relationships between these five entities of document, assay description, assay result, compound structure and protein target (D-A-R-C-P) are manually abstracted by a team of expert curators and transferred to document-centric relational databases.
The relationship between these five entities of document, assay description, assay result, compound structure and protein identifier (D-A-R-C-P) can be manually extracted by expert curators and organised in a relational format, thereby converting unstructured to structured information.
The PubChem BioAssay database contains biological assay descriptions and results.
Using a text search on the PubChem BioAssay database, one can find all of the assay descriptions that contain particular keywords such as "Kinase".
Other 'activities' fields holding additional extracted data, such as assay descriptions, relevant experimental measurements, cell lines, compound concentrations and the substrates used in inhibition assays, may have only been partially completed in this release.
The current work is tested against MEDLINE, but the algorithm is not specific to this corpus and it is possible that the algorithm can be applied to papers from chemical physics, material, polymer and environmental science, as well as patents, biological assay descriptions and other textual data.
All assays and assay descriptions; miniSOPs and curve fit figures linked to Table S1; and matrix of all chemical assay AC50 values, in order as displayed in Figure 1.
