Dual layer - means one well, one sample with multiple results
▪ each well contains multiple capture spots to the ADAs
e.g. innovators, biosimilars, downstream metabolites
▪ one protein capture spot detected by multiple isotypes (level one)
▪ each isotype can be further interrogated with detectors for subclassing (level two)
