The GSP Neonatal IRT kit is intended for the quantitative determination of IRT in blood specimens dried on filter paper as an aid in screening newborns for cystic fibrosis using the GSP® instrument.

The GSP Neonatal IRT assay is a solid phase, two-site fluoroimmunometric assay based on the direct sandwich technique in which two monoclonal antibodies (derived from mice) are directed against two separate antigenic determinants on the IRT molecule. Calibrators, controls or test specimens containing IRT are reacted simultaneously with immobilized monoclonal antibodies directed against a specific antigenic site on the IRT molecule and europium-labeled monoclonal antibodies (directed against a different antigenic site) in assay buffer. The assay buffer elutes IRT from dried blood on filter paper disks. The complete assay requires only one incubation step. DELFIA Inducer dissociates europium ions from the labeled antibody into solution where they form highly fluorescent chelates with components of the DELFIA Inducer. The fluorescence in each well is then measured. The fluorescence of each sample is proportional to the concentration of IRT in the sample.
