Radioimmunoassay Market Expected to Expand at a Steady CAGR through 2026
Quantification of a specific protein in a complex sample is a valuable contribution in the field of medical science. Immunoassays use the highly specific antibodies to target specific molecule of interest and analyze its concentration in a sample. Thus, immunoassay can be defined as a biochemical procedure which is used to measure the concentration of specific antigen with a specific antibody. The first immunoassay was developed in 1959 wherein radiolabeled insulin was used to determine the concentration of insulin in human plasma. Radioimmunoassay (RIA) is a medical diagnostic procedure used to measure the concentration of specific antigens by using specific antibodies. RIA is a highly sensitive technique using which any biological substance for which a specific antibody exists can be quantified, in a very minute concentrations.
