Frequently Answers and Questions

What is the purpose of the ACTH IRMA kit?

The ACTH IRMA kit is used to quantitatively determine the amount of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in EDTA plasma. This measurement is crucial for diagnosing adrenal dysfunctions, such as Cushing's syndrome and adrenal insufficiency.

How is the ACTH IRMA kit used?

The kit utilizes a two-antibody immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) technique. Two ACTH antibodies, each specific to different regions of the ACTH molecule, bind to ACTH in the sample. An iodinated tracer containing a purified polyclonal goat antibody specific for ACTH 26-39 and an iodine-125 labeled monoclonal antibody specific for ACTH 1-17 is used to detect the bound ACTH.

What is the incubation time for the ACTH IRMA assay?

The incubation time for the ACTH IRMA assay is 20 (±2) hours at a temperature of 18-25°C.
