Technology for collecting an Immunoassay
I red a great article from New Scientist: http://technology.newscientist.com/article/dn12688-diy-lab-scanner-made-from-standard-cd-drive.html

I came here looking to compare the existing expensive technology with this new possibly cheaper technology. Unfortunately, the page so far gives an elaborate definition than a encyclopedic research. I am no doctor that I was hoping someone with better skills in writing these type of articles could include the relevant and related information from the above article, as appropriate.

 * If you are still interested in the immunoassay technology on a CD platform, you can read about it in the article CD/DVD based immunoassay. This Wikipedia article doesn't draw specifically from the article you read from New Scientist, but it covers relevant information on the technique based on other sources.

Sensitivity/Specificity
Any word on the accuracy of immunoassays in general? in drug testing they are very sensitive but prone to false positives. --MartinezMD (talk) 16:47, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Should we mention Biotin?
http://endocrinenews.endocrine.org/january-2016-thyroid-month-beware-of-biotin/ "More patients are taking the dietary supplement biotin, which could be throwing off a number of test results from thyroid cancer to Graves’ disease". ee1518 (talk) 13:13, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

chemiluminescence
Should the article mention chemiluminescent immunoassay, or should it have its own article? While I read "Bad Blood" some time ago, with the Theranos trial on I got more interested in their technology. Besides the fact that Theranos failed, it does seem to be a good technology.
