The Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) automation of the immunoassay test and facilitating and the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay its transition from speciality laboratories to general (ELISA) were envisioned in the 1960s, but it took labs and clinical settings. Today CEDIA technology almost a decade for researchers to demonstrate is the platform supporting a broad menu of conclusively that the EIA/ELISA was the next step in immunoassays. building a new generation in immunoassays. These techniques replaced radioisotopes with enzymes in the labeling of antigens and antibodies which could Thermo Fisher Scientific continues to forge then be detected by spectrophotometric means. the way with new immunoassays for drugs The first tests were not as precise and sensitive of abuse screening and therapeutic drug as the RIA; however, improvements in techniques monitoring. accelerated during the 1970s.

The value of innovation (Thermo Fisher Scientific) in the early 1980s. An enduring history of serving science From routine chemistries to highly sensitive tests Researchers and clinicians worldwide soon that will enable the discovery of new biomarkers began to recognize the exciting potential of for disease diagnosis, the latest immunoassay this breakthrough technique and numerous techniques are built on the foundation of radio- laboratories were built and equipped to conduct immunoassay (RIA). This revolutionary concept tests that required the use of radioisotopes. As was developed for measurement of endogenous the technology was fine-tuned, RIAs for many plasma insulin by Solomon Berson and Rosalyn new analytes were published. Although the Yalow in 1959. Working together as a team, these RIA technique was valued for its sensitivity and two scientists proposed the use of the interaction specificity, there was growing concern about between antibodies and antigens to detect the workplace safety, the expense of the equipment presence or quantify the concentration of specific required for handling radioactive materials and the analytes in human body fluids. An isotope of a ability to properly dispose radioactive waste. radioactive element was used to label antibodies and antigens. 4 5 Around the world thousands of Thermo Scientific assays are loaded every day on a wide range of testing platforms. At Thermo Fisher Scientific, we have been at the forefront of enzyme-based turbidimetric immunoassay evolution for more than three decades. The spectrum of our integrated products and services offers both breadth and depth in the areas of drugs of abuse, specimen validity testing and toxicology testing; therapeutic and immunosuppressive drug monitoring; and quality control and data management. The synergy of multiple technologies, a robust menu of homogenous enzyme immunoassays optimized for most clinical chemistry analyzers and the global reach of our customer-responsive training and product support has made Thermo Scientific products the preferred resource for reference and hospital laboratories and other drug monitoring facilities. That’s why our research and development We never forget endeavors are driven by a sense of urgency and guided by the spirit of innovation. That behind every assay performed is a story Around the world thousands of Thermo Scientific During the mid 1990s, Thermo Fisher Scientific System (QMS). Our cutting edge Thermo assays are loaded every day on a wide range introduced its DRI™ product line. The marketplace Scientific™ QMS™ assays are the culmination of testing platforms. While we are proud of the reception to these liquid, ready-to-use assays of more than two decades of research and trust our customers have placed in us we never was unparalleled. Increased lab productivity, development in the application of microparticle lose sight of the fact that behind every assay low cost per test and short turnaround times technology to immunodiagnostics. performed is a story – men, women, and children without sacrificing precision, accuracy and The QMS method employs advanced particle facing challenges and uncertainty with hope for lot-to-lot consistency were right on target with technology to develop a wide range of particle- a healthier future. That’s why our research and clinical laboratory needs. More recently, we have enhanced turbidimetric immunoassays for use on development endeavors are driven by a sense of strengthened our technological leadership with automated chemistry analyzers. urgency and guided by the spirit of innovation. the introduction of the Quantitative Microsphere 6 7 One Resource Multiple Technologies CEDIA Thermo Scientific™ CEDIA™ method is a single phase, competitive binding process that combines analyte-specific antibodies and two genetically engineered fragments of the bacterial enzyme ß-galactosidase to accurately and reliably detect the Enzyme Acceptor (EA) presence of drugs and their metabolites as well as other substances in serum, plasma, whole blood, urine, and oral fluids. Genetic Enzyme Donor Enzyme Fragment (ED) Benefits Engineering Complementation • Guaranteed consistency: kit-to-kit, lot-to-lot, year-to-year • Accurate and specific results Active Enzyme Reconstituted Active Enzyme • Lower limits of detection of analytes in test matrix • Excellent low-end sensitivity and specificity Inactive Enzyme Fragments • Linear dose response curve • Urine, oral fluids, serum, plasma, and whole blood [ ] CEDIA Technology: genetic engineering of enzyme fragments. DRI Thermo Scientific™ DRI™ products are proven and trusted testing solutions that offer high analytical accuracy while eliminating time-consuming steps in reagent preparation. DRI technology is based on the competition between a drug or drug metabolite labeled with the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate + + dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and free drug from the sample for a fixed amount of specific antibody binding sites. In the absence of free drug from the sample, the specific antibody binds to the drug labeled with G6PDH. As a result, enzyme activity is inhibited. Enzyme-labeled Molecules Cofactor SUBSTRATE Benefits of the compound to be measured “NAD” “G6P” “ENZ-CONJUGATE” NADH • Applications for low, medium and high volume laboratories • Accurate and specific results DRI Technology • Assays optimized for most clinical chemistry analyzers • Excellent low-end sensitivity and specificity G6PDH in the presence of Cofactor and Substrate forms NADH. • Minimizes unnecessary confirmations • Guaranteed consistency: kit-to-kit, lot-to-lot, year-to-year The NADH absorbs light at 340 nm. + + QMS Thermo Scientific™ QMS™ (Quantitative Microsphere System) assays are particularly well suited to measuring therapeutic drugs in whole blood, serum or plasma. Antibody Free Drug Particle Bound Drug Our QMS two component assay system is based on the competitive inhibition immunoassay principle: If the drug targeted by the assay is present in the sample, these free drug molecules compete with a microparticle-bound drug in one reagent for a limited No Inhibition Partial Inhibition Complete
