What does CBLA mean in PHYSIOLOGY

A competitive-binding luminescence assay, or CBLA, is a method of measuring the concentration of molecules and proteins in a sample. CBLA can measure both small and large molecules as well as proteins.

In CBLA, light emitting probes are used to detect the presence of molecules and proteins in samples. The light emitting probes interact with target molecules which leads to the emission of light that is proportional to the amount of target present. This signal is then measured and used to determine the concentration of target molecules or proteins in the sample.

CBLA can be used for testing many different types of samples including cells, tissues, serum, artificial solutions, food products and environmental samples.

Yes, the main advantage of using CBLA is its high sensitivity when compared to other detection techniques such as ELISA and western blotting techniques. Other advantages include its wide dynamic range for measuring low concentrations up to highly concentrated solutions, relatively low cost per test compared to other techniques and accuracy when making measurements over time.

Yes, one limitation with using this method is that it requires special equipment for detecting the fluorescence emitted from tagged targets which may limit its widespread use in some laboratories where such instruments are not available. Additionally, due to its reliance on light emissions it cannot be used for measuring very low concentrations unless specialized equipment that requires expensive reagents are employed.
