The Handbook On Principles, Components, Prerequisites And Advantages
Chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) is a widely used diagnostic technique that combines the specificity of antigen–antibody reactions with the sensitivity of chemiluminescent detection. In CLIA, light emitted from a chemical reaction is measured to quantify target analytes, enabling quantitative detection even at very low concentrations. The technique offers a wide dynamic range, analytical precision and rapid turnaround time, making it well suited for both routine and specialized testing. CLIA is applied across a broad diagnostic menu, including the measurement of hormones, tumor markers, cardiac markers and other clinically important analytes.
The TOSOH PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (TPAP) handbook on chemiluminescence immunoassay has been developed as a comprehensive reference to support healthcare professionals and laboratory specialists in the effective use of CLIA-based testing. Leveraging Tosoh’s expertise in advanced immunoassay technologies, TPAP provides detailed insights into CLIA technological advancement and assay performance characteristics, thereby serving as a practical guide for the reliable and effective application of chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA).
