This volume discusses advances in antibody engineering and recognition of small molecules, and focuses on new basic and applied science in hapten and assay chemistry and formats. It also explores developing methods that improve sensitivity.

Discusses advances in antibody engineering and recognition of small molecules. Focuses on new basic and applied science in hapten and assay chemistry and formats. Explores developing methods that improve sensitivity, allow real-time repeated analyses and multi-analyte analysis. Provides data validation guidelines and quality standards for immunoassay methods. Includes an introductory chapter by Bruce D. Hammock and Shirley J. Gee.
