Technique
- Combine a sample suspected of containing the drug of interest with a solution containing a known concentration of antibody and the enzyme substrate.

- Measure the rate of appearance of color or fluorescence.
- Determine the drug concentration by comparing the observed rate to the rates produced by known concentrations of the drug.
