Immunoassay is a biological test that can detect a host of diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. The detection of the disease is linked to the detection of biomarkers in the blood, saliva or urine sample taken from humans. Biomarkers are chemical representatives of diseases. The presence of biomarkers sets of fluorescence when subject to the immunoassay test. The intensity of the fluorescence is directly proportional to the amount of biomarkers.
