Principle
C-Peptide iClia Diagnostic Kit is a sandwich immunoassay for determination of C-Peptide in human serum and plasma using chemiluminescent technology. In the first step, anti-C-Peptide labeled magnetic microparticle , human serum, assay buffer and an anti- C-Peptide labeled acridinium ester (AE Conjugate) are mixed and incubated in an assay tube, which allows patient specific C-Peptide to bind to microparticle. After sample matrix is removed by washing, the Microparticle-anti- C-Peptide antibody/antigen/antibody immune complex is kept with the help of a magnetic separator. Excess acridinium ester conjugate is removed by washing and finally the bound enzyme is detected by addition of chemiluminescent substrate. The relative light unit (RLU) intensity is proportional to the amount of C-Peptide. According to the C-Peptide RLU-concentration standard curve, the RLU tested can be interpreted to C-Peptide concentration in the sample expressed as ng/ml.
