ABSTRACT:
A method for compensating toxicity test data for the measured toxicity of a reference sample by the steps of:
a. obtaining toxic response data for a plurality of concentrations of at least two different test samples, including reagent controls having zero sample concentration for each sample;
b. defining the sample having the smallest toxic response at high concentrations as the reference sample;
c. computing the toxic response of the test sample relative to that for the reference sample for at least two concentrations in accordance with the equation:
