An immunoassay analyzer is a laboratory instrument that automates an assay which can be performed manually. This is done using an automated platform and does not require any operator intervention during the analysis of each sample.
Immunoassay analyzers are used to identify and detect the concentration of specific substances in a sample, usually using an antibody as a reagent. These devices can perform a variety of tests.
Immunoassay testing works by using antibodies to detect small biological substances in the blood and other bodily fluids. The method follows the aspect that particular antigens binds to specific newly introduced antibodies, thereby stimulating an immune response.
AIA-CL instruments use Chemiluminescence as response-detection method. The principle is based on the ‘one cup one test‘ principle.
These assays have been widely used in both clinical diagnostic and research settings. As the term immunoassay implies, this method of measuring hormones involves an antigen-antibody reaction, where the antigen is the hormone to be measured and the antibody, which is prepared against the hormone, binds to the hormone.
Detecting and monitoring pregnancy and fertility hormone levels. Monitoring levels of therapeutic drugs, such as insulin and blood thinners. Identifying and measuring allergens in food and environmental samples. Detecting and monitoring environmental contaminants, such as heavy metals and pesticides.
