The phrase "assay in order to" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the purpose of conducting an assay, typically in scientific or analytical contexts.
Example: "We will assay in order to determine the concentration of the substance in the sample."
Alternatives: "test to" or "analyze to".
