Heterogeneous assays require physical separation of bound-ligand complexes from free ligand.Homogeneous assays are able to distinguish between bound-ligand complexes and free ligand without a separation step.ELISA requires a separation step and is thus known as a heterogeneous assay, whereas EMIT does not require a separation step.Since homogeneous assays do not require a separation step, these assays are more suitable for automation.
