Immunoturbidimetry
Immunoturbidimetry is an important tool in the broad diagnostic field of clinical chemistry. It is used to determine serum proteins not detectable with classical clinical chemistry methods.
Turbidimetry is an analytical technique that uses light scattering, a physical phenomenon resulting from the interaction of light with particles in solution, to measure the concentration of particles. The photometric signal is generated by a decrease in light intensity as a direct consequence of increasing turbidity in the reaction well.
Immunoturbidimetry uses the classical antigen-antibody reaction. The antigen-antibody complexes are particles which can be optically detected by an photometer.[1]
