Abstract:

Immunoassay technology is an analytical method with high sensitivity and specificity; it provides a technique to assay materials which cannot be measured by other methods, or are difficult to detect. It plays a very important role inbiological sample pre-treatment, therapeutic drug monitoring and drug determination, and is one of the important means for in vivo drug analyses.This paper reviews immunoassays commonly used in bioanalysis, including immunoextraction and immunodepletion for pretreatment of biological samples, conventional immunoassay methods and new immunoassay technologies for determination of target drugs.

Key words: Immunoassay, Sample pretreatment, Biological samples, Bioanalysis
