Immunoassay definition

Immunoassay means a test for the presence or con- centration of a substance that relies on the reaction of one or more antibodies with the substance.
Immunoassay means an initial screening methodology, the basis of which is the chemical process known as mass action reaction, for determining small amounts of material in the sample.
Immunoassay means any assay wherein the analyte of interest is an antibody or protein or is determined by the binding thereto of an antibody or other specific binding protein.

Examples of Immunoassay in a sentence

  • When employees are required to participate in any of the drug testing procedures, the initial testing specimen will be subject to an EMIT (Enzyme Multiple Immunoassay Technique).

  • These procedures call for the use of an Immunoassay Screen (i.e. “EMT”) with all positive results tested for confirmation using Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) technology.

  • EMIT (Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique), recommended for initial screening step.

  • The initial drug screen shall use the Immunoassay (EMIT) process and the confirmatory test will be by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.

  • An initial drug screen shall be performed using the Immunoassay (IA) method.

  • When employees are required to participate in any of the drug testing procedures, the initial testing specimen will be submitted to the Community Corrections Division or a certified HRS lab for an EMIT (Enzyme Multiple Immunoassay Technique).

  • The Department uses an Immunoassay process to initially screen all urine samples for drugs.

  • The laboratory shall analyze the primary specimen with an Enzyme Multiple Immunoassay Test (EMIT) or some other screen test allowed by DHHS for employees required to have CDLs.

  • ASSIGNOR is the holder of certain diagnostic tests, and test systems that have received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Regulatory Clearance and include a Desktop Immunoassay Multi-light Spectrum Analyzer and Target System Diagnostic Test Cartridge Platform.

  • There shall be a two-step initial screening process run concurrently, i.e., consisting of TLD (Thin Layer Chromatography) and EMOT (Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique).

Immunoassay means a lateral flow immunoassay.
Immunoassay means an Assay that uses antibodies wherein the antibody combining site is directly involved in the detection or quantification of the analyte, and that is formatted to be performed on an Eisai Instrument or Enhanced Eisai Instrument, wherein the immunoassay is performed with paramagnetic beads and wherein an immunocomplex containing an antibody and an ECL labeled moiety coupled to a paramagnetic bead (bead-bound phase/ /) is separated in one or more steps from other assay and/or sample components (/ /free phase/ /) in the Wash Station of the Instrument or Enhanced Instrument, prior to transfer of the bead-bound phase to the flow cell of the Instrument or Enhanced Instrument. / /Instrument/ / shall mean any Eisai Instrument and/or any Enhanced Eisai Instrument. / /Point-of-Care/ / shall mean, with respect to instruments, designed for doctors' offices, or portable enough for bedside or near-patient use, or reliant on a disposable electrode, or capable of processing a number of assays but only for a single patient at a time, or hand-held; and shall mean, with respect to assays, formatted for use with any such instruments. / /Wash Station/ / shall mean a vessel(s) and means for separating bound phase from free phase, prior to transfer of bound phase to the flow cell of the instrument. / /Wash Step/ / shall mean one or more step(s) of separating bound phase from free phase in a Wash Station prior to transfer of the washed bound phase to the flow cell.
