JordanThe main difference between ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and RIA (radioimmunoassay) is the type of label used for detection. ELISA relies on an enzyme-linked detection system, while RIA uses a radioactive label. This distinction affects the sensitivity, safety, and ease of use of the two assays.

What are the uses of radioimmunoassay?
Radioimmunoassay is primarily used in clinical laboratories to measure the concentration of hormones, drugs, and other substances in the blood. It is also used in research settings to study the levels of specific proteins or antibodies. Additionally, radioimmunoassay can be utilized in forensic toxicology to detect drugs in biological samples.
How do you remove THC from your bloodstream?
The Best way to remove THC/toxins from your body is to go to a herbal store and buy herbs that stimulate your kidneys and enhance your liver and herbs that also eliminate toxins, another way is to sweat everything out by vigorous exercise and a few days b4 the test eat lots of fatty foods because THC binds to fat tissues so it won't be released in the blood, another trick is to drink an ENOURMOUS amount of water 5 hours before the test to try to beat the cut off level. ****Trying to flush your system with water the day of**** Drink at least eight hefty glasses of fluid (preferably water) just prior to the test. Many people start drinking water several days before the test; which is useless. Water does *not* clean any THC metabolites out of your system because THC is not water soluble. Water only dilutes urine temporarily.When drinking lots of water, it will dilute your urine. Many labs test for this by testing your creatinine levels. Even 10 panel tests. Eating red meat will boost creatinine levels back up. If you eat a lot of red meat for the 3 days prior to the test, your creatinine level will be normal, and the lab won't know that you've diluted your urine sample. Color your sample yellow by taking 50 to 100 milligrams of vitamin B. Many vitamins will work, but B-2 or B-12 (found in B-complex vitamins) are the most effective, though some will argue that vitamin C is better. ****Try a high fiber diet prior to testing**** A high fiber diet will help by redirecting fat soluble metabolites to the colon rather than bladder. "THC is eliminated primarily in the stool via bile acids. Both EMIT and RIA detect a secondary metabolite which is reabsorbed from the intestines. Thus a person with a high fiber diet will excrete a majority of THC [metabolites] in the stool" (anon1). A fiber-based laxitive will also help by binding bile-acids. Use caution. Fiber laxitives can alter one's bowel schedule and lead to dependancy.
