An immunoassay analyzer is an automated instrument that uses immunoassay methodologies to produce accurate immunoassay test results using a variety of techniques. Whether you run dozens or hundreds of tests daily, it is a reliable and intuitive device that can help optimize your lab’s performance.

Hospitals and clinical or medical laboratories can use immunoassay analyzers to run automated biochemical tests that detect the presence and concentration of a substance within a sample.

The test is performed using an antibody as a reagent, which is chemically linked with a specific label such as an enzyme. These conjugated labels allow the detection of antibodies and antigens present in a sample. Without labeling, the binding that does occur would not be measurable.

Immunoassay testing is extensively used in scientific research. It’s capabilities include diagnosing infectious disease, targeting cancer, therapeutic drug monitoring, cardiac analysis, allergy testing, as well as protein, bacterial, and toxin determination. The type of immunoassay you use, along with technique and label, depends on the results you wish to obtain.
