Laboratory assay
Explanation:
If it is biology- or medicine-related, it is probably an assay.

It definitely is not an 'essay' (this is a piece of writing, like an 'english essay' or a 'history essay'), and it could be 'laboratory test' if it's more mechanical.

Giving more context in your question always helps... :)
