Fluorescence polarization immunoassay. II. Analyzer for rapid, precise measurement of fluorescence polarization with use of disposable cuvettes.
This instrument, developed for quantitating fluorescence polarization immunoassays, automatically measures both polarization components and computes a polarization value corrected for background and optical bias. An electronically switched liquid crystal provides a nonmechanical means of rotating the plane of polarization in the excitation optics. The electronic design features digital integrat...
متن کاملComparison of cyclosporin G (Nva2-cyclosporin) concentrations measured in whole blood by monoclonal fluorescence polarization immunoassay, monoclonal radioimmunoassay, and HPLC.
Two commercial monoclonal immunoassays for monitoring cyclosporin A were used to measure whole-blood concentrations of the immunosuppressant cyclosporin G (CsG) in renal transplant patients. We performed a three-way comparison of these two immunoassays and HPLC. Although the two immunoassays agreed favorably, both the monoclonal fluorescence polarization immunoassay and the monoclonal RIA yield...
متن کاملDetection Methods for Mycotoxins in Cereal Grains and Cereal Products
Analytical methods for mycotoxins in cereals and cereal-based products require three major steps, including extraction, clean-up (to eliminate interferences from the extract and concentrate the analyte), and detection/determination of the toxin (by using suitable analytical instruments/technologies). Clean-up is essential for the analysis of mycotoxins at trace levels, and involves the use of s...
متن کاملFluorescence polarization standards for high-throughput screening and imaging.
Fluorescence polarization has been utilized for some time in the form of fluorescence polarization immunoassays for therapeutic drugs, drugs of abuse, and other small molecules (3, 11), and more recently for immunoassays for macromolecules (9). Polarization-based assays have been developed for high-throughput screening applications, particularly lead identification. These assays include proteas...
متن کاملFluorescence Polarization Immunoassay of Mycotoxins: A Review
Immunoassays are routinely used in the screening of commodities and foods for fungal toxins (mycotoxins). Demands to increase speed and lower costs have lead to continued improvements in such assays. Because many reported mycotoxins are low molecular weight (below 1 kDa), immunoassays for their detection have generally been constructed in competitive heterogeneous formats. An exception is fluor...
