Interference and HAMA problems Recognizing and avoiding of false results Immunoassays are bioanalytical methods based on antibodies. These include ELISA, EIA, RIA, Western blotting, protein arrays, lateral flow assays (immuno-chromatography), immunohistochemistry or immuno-PCR. Antibodies detect the substances (analytes) in immunoassays. This detection is always highly specific and only the analytes are detected and bound. This is the theory! Practically any antibody not only binds its analyte. It also binds several other substances, but with very different affinities....
Eternal shelf-life for ELISA? Long-term stabilization of assay components Reliable long-term stabilization of immunoassay components is beneficial in many applications. Stabilization and storage of components are important for effective workflows not only for performing large numbers of ELISA but also for medium and small numbers of ELISA. This article deals with the state of the art - particularly with regard to food, veterinary or clinical diagnostics. Clinical immuno diagnostics require adequate stabilization of assay components according to EU guidance (IVDD 98/79/EC) or corresponding international regulations before launch....
