Chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) for the determination of Procalcitonin (PCT) in human serum and plasma on the automated LIAISON® and LIAISON® XL random access analyser (DiaSorin)
Assay characteristics
- Two-step chemiluminescence immunoassay using two different highly specific monoclonal antibodies for the coating of the solid phase (magnetic particles) and for the tracer
- Sample material: Serum or plasma
- Sample volume: 100 μL
- Incubation time: 16 min
- Measuring range: 0.020 up to 100 μg/L
- Functional assay sensitivity: 0.04 μg/L
- High-dose hook: No high-dose hook effect detectable up to 2000 μg/L
