Immunoassay testing is carried out to detect diseases in biological samples. Immunoassays work by measuring the concentration of a specific analyte or antibody in a sample, such as blood or saliva.
Monitoring unfractionated heparin (UFH) using the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) or the anti-factor Xa (anti-Xa) chromogenic assay still seems to be a controversy. Is the...
