Emit
Emit may refer to:, a British record label that specializes in
ambient music. Technically the name has a colon in place of the letter "I", but it is pronounced (and often erroneously written) like the common word "emit". Cornish derogatory slang for a tourist or newcomer, especially one that has a second home or attempts to drive inappropriately large cars around country lanes or villages. This derives from the Cornish word for '
ant'. Pronounced Em-mit rather than e-MIT.EMIT or

Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique
The Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique, or EMIT, is a common method for screening
urine and
blood for
drugs, whether legal or illicit. It is part of the homogeneous immunoassay.The technique is relatively nonspecific compared to some other analysis methods, such as
mass spectrometry, but has the advantage of being fast and inexpensive. It has, however, been shown in some cases to be somewhat inaccurate in its findings. The patent for EMIT technology is owned by the Syva Corporation of Palo Alto, CA.
