LIAISON® 1-84 PTH assay now available! (Available outside the US only)
13/07/2010
DiaSorin releases the only fully automated third generation assay for the determination of parathyroid hormone levels. LIAISON® 1-84 PTH is a chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of 1-84 PTH in serum and EDTA-plasma, without cross-reactivity with the 7-84 PTH fragment.
The use of an antibody which is highly specific for the N-terminus of the peptide ensures 100% specificity for the whole PTH molecule and eliminates the problem of interference due to N-terminal fragments. The LIAISON® 1-84 PTH assay is therefore able to provide uniformity of results also in patients with kidney disease, who tend to accumulate these fragments in high concentrations.
The combination of analytical excellence and automation makes LIAISON® 1-84 PTH a valuable addition to the Bone & Mineral panel, which includes LIAISON® 25-OH Vitamin D TOTAL, LIAISON® N-TACT® PTH, LIAISON® BAP OSTASE® and LIAISON® Osteocalcin. DiaSorin has now available a unique panel for assessing and monitoring bone metabolism diseases.
