Chemiluminescent Immunoassay (CLIA)

Chemiluminescent Immunoassay (CLIA) is a method that utilizes a luminescent molecule as a signal of the analysis reaction. Luminescence is the release of visible or near-visible light when an electron moves from an excited state to the ground state, releasing energy in the form of light. Compared to absorbance, luminescence has the advantage of being an absolute measurement.

WHAT IS THE PROCALCITONIN TEST

PROCALCITONIN TEST

Procalcitonin (PCT) is the precursor of the hormone calcitonin. Under normal conditions, the PCT formed in thyroid C cells is converted to calcitonin; as a result, no PCT is released into circulation, and the level of procalcitonin in the blood of healthy individuals is low. Therefore, it is generally undetectable in Healthy persons.

PROCALCITONIN& HEART FAILURE

PROCALCITONIN (PCT)

Procalcitonin (PCT) is the precursor of the hormone calcitonin.It is a 116 amino acid protein with a molecular mass of 13 kDa, encoded by the CALC1 gene. Under normal conditions, the PCT formed in thyroid C cells is converted to calcitonin; as a result, no PCT is released into circulation, and a procalcitonin level in the blood of healthy individuals is low. Therefore, it is normally undetectable in Healthy persons, and PCT levels in healthy individuals are <0.1 ng/ml.
