New And Upcoming Trends In Immunodiagnostics

By Albert Ramon-Arrufat, Field Application Specialist

Modern healthcare is truly extraordinary. With just a few short tests, you can be screened for a wide array of health conditions. While we may not yet have the medical tricorders from Star Trek, significant technological advancements have made rapid diagnostic assays and precise disease detection a routine part of healthcare.

One might assume that these rapid diagnostic tests rely on intricate and advanced technologies, but many of the latest lab-based diagnostic tests are simply based on the immunoassay. This method utilizes the straightforward principle of antibody-antigen interactions to identify analytes in a sample.

Although immunoassays have been used for many years, recent developments in this field are revolutionizing disease treatment and monitoring, from cancer and infectious diseases to autoimmune disorders. Continue reading to explore the latest trends and cutting-edge technologies in immunodiagnostics that are transforming disease detection.
