Medical Definition of Toxicity test
1.
Controlled laboratory test to determine the toxicity of a chemical to an organism in terms of specific chemical concentrations.
An acute toxicity test establishes the concentration required to kill a predetermined proportion of test organisms within a relatively short period of time, typically 4 days or less. A chronic toxicity test reveals the effects of a sublethal concentration applied throughout all or part of the life cycle.
