Evaluation of fluorescence excitation transfer immunoassay for measurement of specific proteins

Fluorescence excitation transfer immunoassay is a suitable technique for the measurement of serum IgG and CRP. The reagents, once reconstituted, are stable for at least 3 months. The method shows no interference due to bilirubin, lipaemia or haemolysis up to high levels. The assay is simple to perform, reliable and offers considerable advantages over manual techniques such as radial immunodiffusion or electroimmunoassay.
