HYDRAGEL 18 A1AT ISOFOCUSING
The Hydragel 18 A1AT Isofocusing the gold standard assay for the alpha 1-antritrypsin (A1AT) phenotype testing
TEST PRESENTATION
The HYDRAGEL 18 A1AT ISOFOCUSING kit used on the HYDRASYS FOCUSING instrument provides qualitative detection of the different phenotypes of the A1AT in human serum.
The semi-automated HYDRASYS instrument enables migration, immunofixation and direct detection on agarose gels, in order to obtain A1AT profiles for qualitative analysis.
Phenotyping results in conjunction with clinical findings and other laboratory assays aid in the diagnosis of Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency.
TEST PRINCIPLE
The HYDRAGEL 18 A1AT ISOFOCUSING assay is based on the principle of agarose gel isoelectrofocusing followed by immunofixation.
- After the proteins separation according to their isoelectric point, the gel is directly incubated with a peroxydase labeled anti-A1AT with no need for a membrane blotting step.
- Then, the gel is processed in order to remove unbound proteins before the enzymatic reaction.
- Finally, the gel is visually evaluated.
PERFORMANCES
- Sensitivity
- Detection limit of an Alpha 1-antitrypsin’s isoform: 5 mg/dL.
