Chapter 13 Detection of Metals and Radionuclides Using Rapid, On-site, Antibody-Based Assays

摘要

This chapter introduces immunosensors as an alternative analytical tool for rapid and portable analysis of both biological and radiological threats and describes most widely used formats for these analyses. The strengths and weaknesses inherent in antibody-based procedures are discussed and common QA/QC practices for antibody-based assays are described. Finally examples of antibody- based assays for radionuclides are provided from the authors' laboratory.
