A method for the bioassay of oxytocin in the lactating rat mammary gland in vitro is described. The changes in transparency induced by oxytocin in a flat segment of the gland are recorded by means of a CdS photoresistor and a simple Wheatstone bridge. The sensitivity of the assay in routine use is about 0·5–10 µu. oxytocin, the index of precision being about 0·1.
