ichroma T3 – Total Triiodothyronine (T3)

Key Features

• Quantitative T3 measurement: Detects total circulating Triiodothyronine levels for accurate thyroid assessment.

• Fast turnaround time: Provides results within minutes using automated fluorescence detection.

• Easy to use: Utilizes a disposable cartridge format compatible with ichroma instruments.

• Small sample requirement: Typically requires only a small volume of serum or plasma.

• High sensitivity and specificity: Uses T3-specific antibodies to ensure reliable results.

Clinical Applications

• Assessment of thyroid disorders, including hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism

• Monitoring of thyroid hormone replacement therapy

• Evaluation of metabolic function related to thyroid hormones

• Investigation of symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, and abnormal thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels

Principle of the Test

The assay uses a fluorescence immunoassay principle:

1. Patient sample is applied to the cartridge.

2. T3 molecules in the sample bind to fluorescently labeled antibodies.

3. The ichroma analyzer measures emitted fluorescence to determine T3 concentration.
