Read article Ultrasensitive Immunoassays: From cutting-edge technological innovation to proof of utility

Immunoassays are bioanalytical methods that generally use antibodies to detect and quantify specific analytes, often proteins, in biological samples. The process involves the capture of a target protein by an immobilized antibody, followed by its detection with another antibody conjugated either to enzymes, such as phosphatase alkaline or horseradish peroxidase…
