Proteomics assays based on affinity molecules that include additional proofreading steps have the best combination of sensitivity and specificity, and the most potential for future development.

By using samples of known disease status, values such as sensitivity and specificity can be calculated that allow you to evaluate just that. An ideal test rarely overlooks the thing you are looking ...

The sensitivity of a test is the percentage of results that will be correctly positive when HIV is actually present. Lower rates of sensitivity will produce more false negative results. The ...
