The definition is cryptic -- at least for the layman. The sentence defining bioassay does not parse (at least I was not able to parse it). I could not understand why and how 'active principles' (whose principles?) comes into the picture. What does "that" refers to in "that of"? I propose to change the definition somehow, but I am not an expert on bioassay by any means, so I won't risk suggesting specific changes. Szepi (talk) 21:25, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not expert enough to do it myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.64.179.125 (talk) 16:19, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
