Antigen excess Usually involves labeled competing antigen RIA is the prototype
Non-competitive
Antibody excess Usually involves secondary labeled antibody ELISA is the prototype

A final thought. . .
In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac (1902- 1984)
