But the same interferences you were getting 10 years ago, you're still getting today. The erroneous results you were getting 10 years ago, you're still getting today. The only difference is you're getting them faster, because you have a faster box. It should work better, quicker, simpler, easier, and be less-costly. At the request of Pointe Scientific, Dr. Artiss began investigating homogeneous immunoassays that would work on any clinical analyzer.
Most current assays require separate, stand-alone units.
After reading an article about a new type of binding assay, he approached Wayne Lancaster, PhD, and Russell Finley, PhD, of the WSU Center for Molecular Medicine and Genetics. My approach is to work on the chemistry and make the chemistry work, then anybody can build a box to put it on. The concept for this assay is an encouraging one, he added. It should work better, quicker, simpler, easier, and be less-costly. It is currently the subject of a small business technology transfer grant proposal.
