Overview
Immunoassays are becoming increasingly popular as analytical tools for residue analysis. They offer rapid, sensitive, selective, and cost-effective alternatives to such conventional methods as HPLC and GLC. This new volume focuses on the uses of these immunoassays in environmental monitoring and quality control, as well as the regulatory aspects of this technology. Its 18 chapters are divided into three sections covering immunoassay evaluation guidelines, academic advances in immunoassay technology, and immunoassay activities in industry.

Presents 18 papers from a symposium at the American Chemical Society meeting in Miami, September 1989. Researchers from academia and the chemical industry report recent advances in using immunochemical methods to detect a variety of environmental contaminants. They introduce the non-specialist to the principles, procedures, advantages, and limitations of the methods, and speculate on anticipated requirements of regulatory agencies. Annotation c.
