This study presents a novel microsphere immunoassay for simultaneously measuring digoxin and theophylline. The method shows promise for dual-analyte detection, though further development is needed for precise quantification.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Immunotechnology

Background:

  • Simultaneous measurement of multiple analytes is crucial for clinical diagnostics.
  • Microsphere-based immunoassays offer potential for multiplexed detection.
  • Digoxin and theophylline are clinically significant drugs requiring accurate quantification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a microsphere-based immunoassay for simultaneous detection of digoxin and theophylline.
  • To assess the feasibility of using enzyme-catalyzed reporter deposition (CARD) for signal amplification.
  • To explore different formats for microsphere array detection.

Main Methods:

  • Competitive immunoassays utilizing haptenized microspheres and horseradish peroxidase-labeled antibodies.
