A false-positive test result is one that appears to detect a disease (analyte) when in fact it is not present. A false-positive test result may thus suggest that a person has the disease when he or she does not.

Immunoassay- A Powerful Analytical Technique

Immunoassay is a biochemical test that measures the concentration of an analyte in a biological liquid using the reaction of an antibody or antibodies to its antigen. The assay takes advantage of the specific binding of an antibody, which are special proteins made in the body in response to invading microorganisms or other foreign substances, to its antigen. The qualities of immunoassay that makes it one of the powerful analytical techniques are its specificity, sensitivity and versatility.
