THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC
DRUG OF ABUSE ASSAYS
- Extensive menu of urine assays for drug of abuse testing available with THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC
- The Thermo Scientific DRI™ and CEDIA™ assays are the most commonly used methods for drugs of abuse testing
- They are similar in that they are both competitive homogeneous enzyme immunoassays
- The term competitive is used because the enzyme labelled drug and the drug (analyte) in the urine specimen compete for the fixed amount of analyte-specific antibody available for binding
- Certified by the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), an agency that oversees federally regulated employee drug testing in the United States.
- Overall ~ 95% concordance with LC-MS/MS, the gold Reference Standard: fewer false positives and false negatives
- Minimal cross-reactivity to undesired compounds
- 10% CV; inter-assay and between-run precision CE Mark & *FDA Cleared
- DRI and CEDIA performance data presented in over 100 peer reviewed journal articles
- Validated Instrument Parameter Applications, certified for a broad spectrum of chemistry analyzers including Indiko and Indiko Plus analyzer
- DOA analytes: Amphetamines, Barbiturate Benzodiazepine, Cannabinoids (THC), Ethyl Alcohol
- Methadone, Phencyclidine (PCP), Propoxyphene Phenobarbital, Methaqualone, DATs, Cocaine, Cotinine, Ecstasy & Opiate
IMMUNOSUPPRESANTS DRUG ASSAYS
- Thermo Fisher Scientific offers the most comprehensive menu of Immunosuppressant Drug Monitoring assays which are recognized worldwide for their ease-of-use, quality, performance, and lot-to-lot consistency.
- One of the most effective therapies for patients with end-stage organ failure is solid organ transplantation
- The Thermo Scientific QMS™ and CEDIA™ assays are the most commonly used methods for ISD assays
- Typically, one or more immunosuppressive drugs (ISD) are used to prevent rejection of transplanted organs and tissues
- Periodic measurements of a drug’s concentrations are performed to allow physicians to make adjustments to the patient’s drug therapy, ensuring long-term success
- Excellent low-end sensitivity & good correlation with gold standard methods & lot to lot consistency
- Simple sample preparation step
- Simple sample preparation step
- ISD analytes: Cyclosporine, Everolimus, Tacrolimus, Mycophenolic acid
THERAPEUTIC DRUG MONITORING ASSAYS
- Extensive menu of TDMs testing available with THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC
- Advanced microparticle technology is the foundation for a broad menu of QMS™ particle enhanced turbidimetric immunoassays for therapeutic and immunosuppressive drug management.
- QMS two-component assay system is based on th e competitive inhibition immunoassay
- Developed for use on general chemistry analysers, the QMS liquid-ready-to-use format has been proven to be a convenient alternative to more expensive and time-consuming assays employing HPLC or LC/MS technologies.
- QMS assays has demonstrated excellent correlation to reference methods
- Optimal sensitivity, precision and dynamic range
- Exceptional reliability, precision and lot-to-lot consistency
- Low cross-reactivity with metabolites and commonly co-administered drugs
- TDM analytes: Amikacin, Carbamazepine, Digoxin Phenytoin, Theophylline, Valproic Acid & Vancomycin
