subtype: #Rubin_test test to determine the patency of the Fallopian tubes
subtype: #skin_test any test to determine immunity or sensitivity to a disease by introducing small amounts on or into the skin
subtype: #Dick_test a skin test to determine your susceptibility to scarlet fever
subtype: #patch_test__patchtest a test to determine allergic sensitivity by applying small pads soaked with allergen to the unbroken skin
subtype: #Schick_test a skin test for immunity to diphtheria
subtype: #scratch_test__scratchtest a test to determine allergic sensitivity to various substances by applying them to scratches in the skin
subtype: #tuberculin_test__tuberculin_skin_test a skin test to determine past or present infection with the tuberculosis bacterium; based on hypersensitivity of the skin to tuberculin
subtype: #Mantoux_test tuberculin (a derivative of tubercle bacillus) is injected intradermally; a red area appearing 1-3 days later signifies an exposure (past or present) to tubercle bacilli and the need for further testing
subtype: #tine_test a tuberculin test in which a disk with several tines bearing tuberculin antigen is used to puncture the skin; development of a hard red area indicates past or present exposure to tubercle bacilli and the need for further testing

subtype: #tissue_typing a series of diagnostic tests before an organ transplant to determine whether the tissues of a donor and recipient are compatible
subtype: #Apgar_score an assessment of the physical condition of a newborn infant; involves heart rate and muscle tone and respiratory effort and color and reflex responsiveness
subtype: #bioassay appraisal of the biological activity of a substance by testing its effect on an organism and comparing the result with some agreed standard
subtype: #immunoassay__immunochemical_assay identification of a substance (especially a protein) by its action as an antigen; "PSA in the blood can be measured with an immunochemical assay"
subtype: #radioimmunoassay immunoassay of a substance that has been radioactively labeled
subtype: #paternity_test__paternitytest a test based on blood groups to determine whether a particular man could be the biological father of a particular child; negative results prove he was not the father but positive results show only that he could be
