Development of Radioimmunometric Assays and Kits for Non-Clinical Applications: Proceedings of a Final Research Coordination Meeting Held in Vienna, 6-10 December 2004: IAEA-TECDOC Series. 1498

Radioimmunoassay (RIA) and related methods are attractive analytical tools for determination of a wide variety of molecules present in complex matrices. This is due to the high degree of specificity of the antigen antibody reaction, the high sensitivity offered by radioactivity measurements, the simplicity of the technique, its reliability and the requirement for only modest equipment and facilities. This publication details their use in a variety of non-clinical applications.
