  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-005360",
  "term": "Homogeneous assay",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of bioassay where all components of the reaction, including the sample, reagents, and the product being measured, are mixed together in a single solution. No separation or washing steps are required before the signal is read, which simplifies automation and increases throughput. The AlphaScreen (Amplified Luminescent Proximity Homogeneous Assay) is a common bead-based example.",
