Abstract
A comparison of antibody-based methods with other rapid methods divides into two, with different viewpoints for cells and toxins. For toxins there really are no rapid methods, other than antibody systems, that can improve on older methods of toxin detection (see Section 3.3 and Lee and Morgan, 1990). Indeed, cases can be envisaged in which antibody-based methods are the only practicable ones available for specific toxin detection. However, for cells a number of alternative technologies have emerged.
