Accurex T3 Fast Test Kit

Accurex T3 Fast Test Kit T3 is produced by the thyroid and secreted in response to TSH. T3 determination is an important factor in the diagnosis of thyroid disease. Its measurement uncovered a variant of hyperthyroidism in thyrotoxic patients with elevated T3 and normal T4 levels. The test uses anti-human T3 monoclonal antibody conjugated with fluorescence latex coated on the junction of nitrocellulose
membrane and sample sad, and T3 antigen coated on the test line. After the sample has been applied to the test strip, the fluorescence latex-labelled anti-human T3 monoclonal antibody binds with the T3 in the sample and forms a marked antigen-antibody complex. The complex moves to the detection zone by capillary action, which is then captured on the test line by the T3 antigen. The fluorescence intensity of the test line increases in proportion to the amount of T3 in the sample. Then Insert the test card into the AccuDx CQ immunofluorescence quantitative analyser. The concentrations of T3 in the sample will be measured and displayed on the screen. The value will be stored in AccuDxCQ and available for downloading. The result can be easily transmitted to the laboratory or hospital


Uses:
It is intended for in vitro quantitative determination of T3 in serum and plasma. It can be used in monitoring hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism and as an aid in the functional diagnosis of the thyroid
