The value of innovation An enduring history of serving science From routine chemistries to highly sensitive tests that will enable the discovery of new biomarkers for disease diagnosis, 21st Century immunoassay techniques are built on the foundation of the radio-immunoassay (RIA). This revolutionary concept was developed for measurement of endogenous plasma insulin by Solomon Berson and Rosalyn Yalow in 1959. Working together as a team, these two scientists proposed the use of the interaction between antibodies and antigens to detect the presence or quantify the concentration of specific...

The limitations of the RIA combined with continued innovation in biomedical research created the perfect environment to take immunoassays in a new direction. The Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) and the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) were envisioned in the 1960s, but it took almost a decade for researchers to demonstrate conclusively that the EIA/ELISA was the next step in building a new generation in immunoassays. These techniques replaced radioisotopes with enzymes in the labeling of antigens and antibodies which could then be detected by spectrophotometric means. The first tests were...

We never forget That behind every assay performed is a story During the mid 1990s, Thermo Fisher Scientific introduced its DRI® product line. The marketplace reception to these liquid, ready-to-use assays was unparalleled. Increased lab productivity, low cost per test and short turnaround times without sacrificing precision, accuracy and lot-to-lot consistency were right on target with clinical laboratory needs. More recently, we have strengthened our technological leadership with the introduction of the Quantitative Microsphere System (QMS). Our cutting edge Thermo Scientific™ QMS assays...
