Method Name
Turbidimetry
Method Description
The determination of the soluble antigen concentration by turbidimetric methods involves the reaction with specific antiserum to form insoluble complexes. When light is passed through the suspension formed a portion of the light is transmitted and focused onto a photodiode by an optical lens system. The amount of transmitted light is indirectly proportional to the specific protein concentration in the test sample.
Concentrations are automatically calculated by reference to a calibrations curve stored within the instrument.(Package inserts: Optilite IgG Kit.
