(Health-NewsWire.Net, March 15, 2016 ) Immunoassay is a laboratory based diagnostic procedure that is performed using an immunological reaction of antibodies. The formation of antibody antigen complexes in blood samples and other body fluids are measured by immunoassay instruments and are usually engaged to detect analytes in quantitative or qualitative manner. Qualitative analyses of immunoassay test include immunoassay tests by detecting human chorionic gonadotropin in urine samples for pregnancy. Immunoassay is done in multiple steps with reagents being added and washed away at different points during the assay.

Calibrators, solutions that contain analyte and the concentration of analyte is known to them, is generally employed in the immunoassay. Currently, the immunoassay tests are discovering new avenues of applications in identifying infectious diseases, detection of cancer biomarkers, toxicology testing and other drug monitoring tests. Immunoassay techniques are particularly suited for examining compounds present in extremely low concentration, such as in nano gram and Pico gram, and without any previous treatments to improve its detection.
To allow detection of antibodies and antigens, immunoassays utilize a range of different labels such as radioactive isotopes, enzymes, fluorogenic reporters, DNA reporters, labeless immunoassay, and electrochemiluminescent tags. Enzymes are mostly used in immunoassay as a label as they produce a visible color change in the presence of certain reagents. Immunoassays are mostly used in sports anti doping laboratories to test athlete’s blood samples for forbidden recombinant human growth hormone. Clinical tests also use immunoassays in many applications such as home pregnancy tests, which detect the pregnancy marker human chorionic gonadotropin.
On the basis of technology, the immunoassay instruments market can be categorized as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), radioimmunoassay, rapid tests, polymerase chain reaction, western blot, and ELISPOT. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay includes 1st generation ELISA tests, 2nd generation ELISA tests, 3rd generation ELISA tests and 4th generation ELISA tests.
The immunoassay instruments market can be categorized on the basis of applications as oncology, endocrinology, autoimmune disorders, bone and mineral disorders, allergy, infectious diseases, neonatal screening, hematology, blood screening, cardiology, stool testing, and toxicology. On the basis of end users, the immunoassay instruments market can be categorized as laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, academic research centers, hospitals, patient self testing, biotechnology companies, ambulatory centers, blood banks, and physician’s offices.
Some of the factors driving the immunoassay instruments market are enhanced discovery of specific biomarkers, extensive use of immunoassays in oncology and rising geriatric population. Implementation of excise duty by the U.S. government and high cost associated with technologically advanced immunoassay systems are some of the factors restraining the immunoassay instruments market to some extent.
