Publisher's Synopsis
Handbook of Immunoassay Technologies: Approaches, Performances, and Applications, Second Edition unravels the role of immunoassays in the biochemical sciences. During the last four decades, a wide range of immunoassays has been developed, ranging from the conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to the smartphone-based point-of-care formats. The book discusses how advances in rapid biochemical procedures, novel biosensing schemes, fully integrated lab-on-a-chip platforms, prolonged biomolecular storage strategies, device miniaturization and interfacing, and emerging smart system technologies that have paved the way for next-generation immunoassays.
Revised and updated, the second edition of Handbook of Immunoassay Technologies: Approaches, Performances, and Applications covers all the relevant, timely, and important developments in the field. This edition offers new content on topics such as antibody production for immunodiagnostics, multiplex immunoassays, chemiluminescent immunoassays, immunoassays for newborn screening, and immunoassays of viruses like SARS-CoV-2, HIV, Ebola, and Hepatitis C. The addition of these new topics as well as up-to-date content make the second edition a valuable and comprehensive resource on immunoassays.
