R. Edwards is the editor of Immunoassays: Essential Data, published by Wiley.

Immunoassays are among the most widely used of analytical techniques and have been applied successfully to an extensive range of substances, from single molecules to whole cells. This book provides key data on all types of immunoassay, including RIA, ELISA and dry surface immunoassays, and on the use of photoluminescent and chemiluminescent labels in immunoassays. Essential information is also given on assay design and data processing. The Essential Data series provides rapid access to the core data required by researchers on a daily basis, in convenient pocket-sized volumes.
