Empirically optimized flow cytometric immunoassay validates ambient analyte theory.
Ekins' ambient analyte theory predicts, counterintuitively, that an immunoassay's limit of detection can be improved by reducing the amount of capture antibody. In addition, it also anticipates that results should be insensitive to the volume of sample as well as the amount of capture antibody added. The objective of this study was to empirically validate all of the performance characteristics ...
متن کاملFlow cytometric microsphere-based immunoassay: analysis of secreted cytokines in whole-blood samples from asthmatics.
The ability of flow cytometry to resolve multiple parameters was used in a microsphere-based flow cytometric assay for the simultaneous determination of several cytokines in a sample. The flow cytometer microsphere-based assay (FMBA) for cytokines consists of reagents and dedicated software, specifically designed for the quantitative determination of cytokines. We have made several improvements...
متن کاملDefining the smallest analyte concentration an immunoassay can measure.
An immunoassay's minimal detectable concentration (MDC), the smallest analyte concentration the assay can reliably measure, is one of its most important properties. Bayes' theorem is used to unify the five current mathematical MDC definitions. The unified definition has significant implications for defining positive results for screening and diagnostic tests, setting criteria for immunoassay qu...
متن کاملSimplifying Complex Flow Cytometric Analyses
Due to the wide variations in fluorescence and light scatter signals produced by different types of cells and particles, researchers using flow cytometry often devote significant time and sample optimizing amplifier gains and PMT voltage settings. It would simplify operation if these settings could be locked down at the factory, but how would the cytometer then capture this wide range of variat...
متن کاملOptimized Lateral Flow Immunoassay Reader for the Detection of Infectious Diseases in Developing Countries
Detection and control of infectious diseases is a major problem, especially in developing countries. Lateral flow immunoassays can be used with great success for the detection of infectious diseases. However, for the quantification of their results an electronic reader is required. This paper presents an optimized handheld electronic reader for developing countries. It features a potentially lo...
