The Bioanalysis Glossary

‘Bioanalysis’ is defined as the measurement of endogenous or exogenous analytes in biological matrices. This glossary lists terms, definitions and equations associated with the field of bioanalysis; that describe techniques, technologies and applications of bioanalysis; and which are important or useful for bioanalysts to understand. An essential resource for a bioanalyst! The Bioanalysis Glossary has been a trusted resource in the field for many years, with its content evolving through six editions in the Taylor & Francis Bioanalysis journal to reflect advancements in bioanalytical science. However, this marks the first time the glossary is being published as a standalone book by CRC Press/Taylor & Francis Group. As such, the publisher is presenting it as the ‘First Edition’, while acknowledging its rich history and prior iterations. To further distinguish this publication and align it with the current year, we are referring to it as the ‘2026 Edition’. This designation emphasizes the glossary’s relevance and timeliness, ensuring readers understand that it incorporates the latest developments and terminology in bioanalysis. This guide is intended to be of great benefit to individuals who are new to the field or working with bioanalytical laboratories for the first time. Additionally, this glossary serves as a valuable reference for experienced bioanalysts who are working on research papers, reports or presentations. Since its creation, the Bioanalysis Glossary’s primary objective has been to facilitate the standardization of terminology used within the bioanalytical community, within and between companies, universities and individuals. In this increasingly globalized field, it has become necessary for scientists to speak the same bioanalytical language.
