Chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA)

Antigen–antibody detection read by light emission, replacing ELISA, radioimmunoassay and fluorescence immunoassay with higher sensitivity — China's domestic instruments and reagents reached commercial scale by 2024 in over 700 medical institutions.

Maturity 9/9 Risk: low Diagnostics CN verified 2026-10-16 · 5 Sources

1 · What it gives

Chemiluminescence immunoassay combines specific antigen–antibody binding with chemiluminescence to detect biomarkers in samples. It replaces ELISA, radioimmunoassay and fluorescence immunoassay thanks to superior sensitivity and specificity. Domestic Chinese CLIA instruments and reagents reached commercial scale by 2024, used in over 700 medical institutions.

2 · What it replaces 6

D1Bio-based plasticizers — epoxidized soybean/linseed oil (ESBO), citrate esters (ATBC), isosorbide diesters, castor-oil derivatives — instead of ortho-phthalates (DEHP, DBP, BBP, DIBP) in PVC
Replaces: Low-molecular-weight ortho-phthalate plasticizers in flexible PVC (flooring, cables, films, toys, medical tubing, food-contact gaskets)
CHEM
D2Bumblebee pollination instead of hormone sprays and manual vibration in greenhouse tomatoes
Replaces: Fruit-setting hormone sprays (synthetic auxins such as 4-CPA / tomatotone) and labour-intensive manual flower vibration in greenhouse …
MACRO
D1Constructed (treatment) wetlands for villages, farms, small towns and stormwater — instead of chemical precipitation, chlorination of effluent, or discharge of untreated wastewater
Replaces: Chlorination of small-plant effluents (chlorinated by-products), chemical phosphorus precipitation with iron/aluminium salts at small scale, …
SERV
D2Drone release of beneficial insects (Trichogramma, Cotesia, predatory mites) instead of insecticide sprays
Replaces: Insecticide sprays against caterpillar and mite pests, and manual walking release of natural enemies (the labour bottleneck of large-scale …
MACRO
D1Fermentation (stainless and single-use bioreactors, solid-state reactors) and downstream equipment (centrifuges, filtration, spray and fluid-bed drying, formulation) for local production of enzymes, microbial products and fermentation ingredients instead of chemical-synthesis plants and imports
Replaces: Chemical-synthesis routes and imports for the products in FI-, FD-, I- and A-series articles (enzymes, organic acids, vitamins, microbial …
EAC
D1Food and market organic waste treated by black soldier fly (BSF) larvae, composting and bokashi fermentation instead of landfilling, open dumping and incineration of wet waste
Replaces: Landfilling and open dumping of food/market waste (methane, leachate, vectors); incineration of high-moisture organic waste; chemical fly …
