Advances in Immunoassay Technology
The measurement of trace amounts of physiologically active small molecules (for example,
lipids, drugs, other synthetic chemicals and metals) is critical for both clinical and
environmental analyses. Most small molecules can be analyzed using highly sophisticated
analytical techniques, including high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas
chromatography (GC), and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy
(ICPAES). However, these methods require extensive purification, experienced technicians,
and expensive instruments and reagents. Immunoassays offer an alternative to these
instrument-intensive methods
