Intended Use
For the quantitative in vitro determination of Gentamicin in human serum. This product is suitable for use on the RX Series instruments which includes the Rx Daytona and Rx Imola.
Clinical Significance
It is essential to maintain a constant concentration of medication in order for treatment to be successful, insufficient levels can mean drugs are not effective and excessive levels in some cases can lead to toxicity.
Often there is little difference between the dosage required for effective treatment and the dosage needed to cause severe side effects and even toxicity. The fact that individuals absorb, metabolise and make use of drugs at different rates means a standard dose cannot be prescribed for everyone. It is therefore extremely important to monitor the use of drugs with a narrow therapeutic range to ensure individuals are receiving the optimum treatment.
Gentamicin is an antibiotic drug used in medicine to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in particular those caused by gram-negative bacteria.
Within the therapeutic range most individuals will respond well to treatment without any side effects. Measurements obtained are used in the diagnosis and treatment of gentamicin overdose and in monitoring levels of gentamicin to ensure appropriate therapy
Principle
Randox Gentamicin assay is a latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay. It is based on the principle of measuring changes in scattered light. The latex particles are coated with gentamicin, which in the presence of gentamicin antibody solution, rapidly agglutinate.
When a sample containing gentamicin is introduced, the agglutination reaction is partially inhibited, slowing down the agglutination process. The rate of agglutination is inversely dependent upon the concentration of gentamicin in the sample. By monitoring the change in scattered light, as a change in absorbance, a concentration curve can be obtained. The actual change in absorbance is inversely proportional to the concentration of gentamicin in the sample.
This assay uses an endpoint method and multipoint calibration.
