Resource overview
Assay sensitivity in biomolecular research and drug discovery plays a pivotal role in determining whether an assay or technique can be used, particularly in early pipeline applications. Additionally, sensitivity contributes to the precision and accuracy of measurements. It enables the differentiation between specific and non-specific binding (NSB), reducing background noise and enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio. This precision is essential for obtaining reliable kinetic data and understanding the mechanistic aspects of interactions.
