Radioimmunoassay

MarinBio Isotope Contract Services

MarinBio has an active license for seven commonly used radioisotopes for contract research and development applications in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, diagnostic and medical industries, including the following specific examples of radioisotope uses:

  • 3H Thymidine for DNA in cell proliferation or Uridine for RNA studies
  • 14C for radiolabeled polypeptides (amino acids) and other protein precursors
  • 125I for radiolabeled antibodies and other proteins and ligands in binding assays & internalization
  • 32P for radiolabeled DNA (Southern blot) & RNA (Northern blot), detection
  • 35S for radiolabeled cysteine and methionine amino acid & protein studies
  • 45Ca for metabolism studies & calcium channel studies
  • 51Cr for cell cytotoxicity, e.g. Complement or Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte (CTL) assay
 

These 7 radioisotopes are often used by MarinBio professionals in enzyme, drug uptake, intracellular distribution, binding, quantitation & metabolism assays. Some projects need radioactivity because our clients have already submitted protocols to the FDA and do not want to change methods.

Some projects require the sensitivity that only isotopes can deliver.

MarinBio Results

MarinBio owns, expertly maintains and routinely operates the instrumentation required for various isotope detection and maintains disposal licenses. MarinBio professionals are available to discuss the pros and cons of using particular assays employing radioactive isotopes.

MarinBio professionals are highly trained and employ safe handling and disposal of seven different key radioisotopes.

Currently, 3H is used in a validated GMP assay for a commercial product.

Radioimmunoassay (RIA) is a highly sensitive and specific immunoassay technique used to measure very low concentrations of antigens, such as hormones, vitamins, drugs, or other substances in biological samples. RIA also has very important applications for protein characterization and protein quantitation assays, drug binding assays, DNA and RNA assays, receptor binding assays, cell-based or other bioassays and has important uses in the commercial development of drugs and monitoring drug metabolism.  

Advantages

  • High sensitivity (can detect picogram levels)
  • High specificity
  • Ability to measure multiple samples simultaneously
  • Versatility in sample types (blood, cell culture)
