EMIT(Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique)

EMIT is a Homogeneous Enzymimmunoassay method which is used to analyze specific components in biological liquids. EMIT stands for Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique. The Immunoassay-based method, first introduced by Syva in 1973 for the qualitative and quantitative/ semiquantative determination of drug levels and metabolites in serum and urinary samples, is widely used for screening in Drug of Abuse testing.

Advantages of EMIT Method:

First Homogeneous Enzymimmunoassay method for use to drug markers detection

• No need to wash step after binding antigen-antibody
• High specific antibody to target drug metabolites
• Perfect repeatability rate and high conformity about lot to lot
• Adaptablity to clinical analyzers
