    "1. A test for a constituent or class of constituents based on the antibody/antigen reaction.\n\n2. Immunoassay is an innovative technology used to measure compound-specific reactions (generally colorimetric) to individual compounds or classes of compounds. The reactions are used to detect and quantify contaminants. The technology is available in field-portable test kits.\n\n3. Procedure that utilizes specific antibodies to detect specific antigens. Two common types of immunoassays are the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunomagnetic separation (IMS).",
