Concentration/strength assay
Explanation:
Riqueza > concentración.

Concentración: Cantidad de una sustancia, expresada en peso o en moles, por unidad de peso o volumen del medio en que se encuentra. Puede expresarse como porcentaje (riqueza). No es sinónimo de dosis.

Ejemplo:
Las bebidas fermentadas tienen una riqueza en alcohol etílico del 4 al 20% v/v y pueden considerarse como alimentos. Las bebidas destiladas tienen una riqueza muy superior a partir del 40% v/v y se consideran como medicinas o drogas de abuso.

trial for richness (quantitative - qualitative percentage of a specific substance)/richness testing


Explanation:
Without any other context, "riqueza", seems to refer to the abundance of certain substance being tested.

Additional context would help to give a more accurate answer.
