Principle

Insulin iClia Diagnostic Kit is a sandwich immunoassay for determination of Insulin in human serum and plasma using chemiluminescent technology. In the first step, anti-Insulin labeled magnetic microparticle , human serum, assay buffer and an anti- Insulin labeled acridinium ester (AE Conjugate) are mixed and incubated in an assay tube, which allows patient specific Insulin to bind to microparticle. After sample matrix is removed by washing, the Microparticle-anti- Insulin 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 Insulin. According to the Insulin RLU-concentration standard curve, the RLU tested can be interpreted to Insulin concentration in the sample expressed as ng/mL.

Performance Characteristics

Limit of Blank (LoB):  ≤1.00 μIU/ml.

Accuracy: The accuracy of Insulin iClia was detected with 60 clinical specimens and compared with Roche CLIA. The co-relation co-efficient is > 0.95.

Precision:

1. The test results are repeatable with Insulin samples (Weak and strong) and kit controls in within run precision testing with CV <10%.
2. The test results are reproducible with Insulin samples (Weak and strong) and kit controls in between run precision testing with CV <10%.
3. The test results are reproducible with Insulin samples (Weak and strong) and kit controls in between instrument precision testing with CV <10%.
