Welcome to the fifth generation of chemiluminescence! The Development History of Immunodiagnostic Technology Since 1960, the development of immunodiagnostic technology in China has been continuously updated and iterated. Starting from the earliest form of radioimmunoassay, it has gone through the development of colloidal gold, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and chemiluminescence technol...
WHAT is Folic Acid (Folate)? If you are pregnant, your doctor has likely suggested that you take Folic Acid pills. But do you know why? Folic Acid is a type of vitamin, also known as vitamin B9. Folic Acid is used to: · Make and repair DNA · Prevent birth defects of the spinal cord and brain (neural tube defects) · Produce red blood cells (Referen...

Poclight: Glycated Hemoglobin Detection Solution 1. What is Glycated Hemoglobin? Recent data shows that there are currently about 114 million diabetes patients and 500 million people in prediabetes in China. According to the Chinese Type 2 Diabetes Prevention and Treatment Guidelines (2020 edition), in type 2 diabetes, diagnosis also requires testing of patients' random blood glucose (RP...
Pre-eclampsia What is Pre-eclampsia? Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-related condition characterized by extensive endothelial dysfunction and vasospasm, typically manifesting after 20 weeks of gestation and occasionally extending up to 4-6 weeks after childbirth. Clinically, it is identified by the onset of hypertension and proteinuria, with or without severe complications (Medscape, 2022). Early sign...
Homogeneous chemiluminescence is an important milestone in chemiluminescent immunoassay, enabling direct chemiluminescent detection without the need for separation and washing steps. It has garnered significant attention and wide application in various fields such as basic medical research, serum biomarker detection, and drug screening. In order to improve the coverage and quality of medica...
What are Cardiac troponins? Cardiac troponins are proteins found in cardiac (heart) muscle cells. They play a crucial role in regulating the contraction of the heart muscle. When heart muscle cells are damaged, such as during a heart attack or other cardiac injury, cardiac troponins are released into the bloodstream. Therefore, measuring the levels of cardiac troponins in the blood can help diagno...
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is commonly utilized for guiding diabetes management and diagnosis, as blood sampling can be done at any time of day, the levels are consistent, and the assays are standardized (Ford CN, Leet RW, Kipling LM, et al. , 2019). And it shows your average blood sugar level for the past 4 to 6 weeks. In general, the reference range for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in healthy individ...
