Answer
Immunochemical techniques are vital in diagnostic and clinical applications. They are used to detect the presence and distribution of a target antigen in tissues and cells and in the diagnosis of infectious diseases.
There are several immunochemical techniques you can choose from but not all can be used to identify a specific antigen or antibody. To choose the right immunochemical technique for your assay, you should consider these three factors:
- The conditions under which the experiment is being conducted. This includes the type of sample collected as well as the nature and place of work.
- The sensitivity and selectivity of the immunochemical technique to that specific sample.
- The nature of the reagents you’re using. Make sure the quality of your reagent is standardized, analyzed, and studied.
