An immunoassay is a biochemical test that measures the presence or concentration of a macromolecule or a small molecule in a solution through the use of an antibody or an antigen. Immunoassays come in many different formats and variations, and may be run in multiple steps with reagents being added and washed away or separated at different points in the assay.
