The ONLINE TDM Phenytoin - Free Phenytoin application is an in vitro test for the quantitative determination of free phenytoin in human serum and plasma on cobas c systems. The determination of free phenytoin is used in monitoring levels of free phenytoin to ensure appropriate therapy. Prior to measurement using the ONLINE TDM Phenytoin - Free Phenytoin application, the sample is processed by ultrafiltration to remove the bound phenytoin generating a result for free phenytoin. The ONLINE TDM Phenytoin - Free Phenytoin application is based on the kinetic interaction of microparticles in a solution (KIMS). Phenytoin antibody is covalently coupled to microparticles and the drug derivative is linked to a macromolecule. The kinetic interaction of microparticles in solutions, photometrically detected by turbidity measurements is induced by binding of drugconjugate to the antibody on the microparticles and is inhibited by the presence of phenytoin in the sample. A competitive reaction takes place between the drug conjugate and phenytoin in the serum sample for binding to the phenytoin antibody on the microparticles. The resulting turbidity is indirectly proportional to the amount of drug present in the sample.
