Signal/noise ratio research background

Chemiluminescent and fluorescent labels provide increased sensitivity with less background, for a much higher signal-to-noise ratio. Some examples of automated analyzers are Abbott IMx and Commander , Baxter Stratus , Kodak Amerlite , and Hybritech Photon QA . With the increased sensitivity and expanded menu for drug monitoring, researchers in pharmaceutical bioanalytical laboratories should be able to utilize such automation, provided that cautions in Secs. IV.B are taken into consideration.
