Turbidimetric Immunoassay to quantify antigen-antibody complexes. (CAT#: STEM-MB-0176-WXH)

Introduction

Turbidimetric immunoassay, also known as immunoturbidimetry or turbidimetry, is based on measuring the turbidity of a sample to determine the level of an analyte. This method is commonly used to quantify antigen-antibody complexes. This assay has been widely used in clinical diagnosis, e.g., measurement of PAI-1 and serum C-reactive protein (CRP).
Latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetry (LETIA) is an optimization for conventional immunoturbidimetry. In LETIA, inert microscopic particles amplify the immune complexes, significantly increasing the sensitivity of the reaction and detection.
