Description
Immunoassays are biochemical tests that rely on antibodies (a special type of protein) to bind to specific molecular structures (antigens).
They have become the most commercially successful technology in diagnostics, from home pregnancy testing kits to AIDS testing.
Highly
illustrated and clearly written, The Immunoassay Handbook provides an excellent guide to this fast-growing industry.
Revised and updated, this third edition offers a balanced review of practical information and clinical applications in the field of
immunoassay technology.
Comprehensive and expertly written, The Immunoassay Handbook will be invaluable for a wide
range of users from researchers developing immunoassay systems to developmental and marketing staff who need an excellent overview of
how immunoassay principles, systems and applications work.
With 68 chapters covering a wide range of topics, and new chapters looking
at: surface plasmon resonance in kinetic, concentration and
binding site analyses, and the foundations of immunochemistry, this handbook
is a must read for all laboratory researchers and academics who
use immunoassay as a tool including: pathologists, clinical and veterinary
chemists, biochemists, students and researchers in immunology,
biochemistry and medicine.
Audience
Laboratory researchers and academics who use immunossay as a tool including pathologists, clinical and veterinary chemists, biochemists,
students and researchers in immunology, biochemistry and medicine.
