IDS ACTH
Product Description
The IDS-iSYS ACTH assay is an in vitro diagnostic device intended for the quantitative determination of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in human plasma on the IDS‑iSYS Multi-Discipline Automated System.
Results are to be used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory data for the assessment of pituitary and adrenal gland function, the differential diagnosis of hyper- and hypo-cortisolism, as well as the evaluation of causes of endocrine hypertension.
The IDS ACTH assay:
- is fully automated, with excellent precision and a functional sensitivity of 4.8pg/mL, allowing you to provide accurate results for ACTH concentrations in plasma samples
- has a wide assay range up to 1000pg/mL, allowing maximum number of samples to be run directly without the need for dilution
- has excellent correlation to other commercially available methods
- has low levels of cross-reactivity to an extensive list of potentially interfering substances
- is an effective tool in the assessment of pituitary and adrenal function, Cushing’s syndrome and Addison’s disease
