What is the main advantage of labeled immunoassays over unlabeled immunoassays?
What is the main advantage of labeled immunoassays over unlabeled immunoassays?
- They rely on precipitation or agglutination reactions
- They can detect antigens or antibodies present in very low concentrations (correct)
- They require a high concentration of the unknown to visualize the reaction
