Description

Beckman Coulter 33815 Access Thyroid Uptake Calibrator (T Uptake Test / thyroid uptake test) Specifications:

Beckman Coulter 33815 Access Thyroid Uptake Calibrator (T Uptake Test / thyroid uptake test): INTENDED USE:

The Access Thyroid Uptake Calibrator is intended to calibrate the Access Thyroid Uptake assay for the assessment of the thyroxine binding capacity of unsaturated proteins in serum and plasma, using the Access Immunoassay Systems.

Beckman Coulter 33815 Access Thyroid Uptake Calibrator (T Uptake Test / thyroid uptake test): SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION

The Thyroid-Uptake Calibrator with known analyte concentration is assayed, and the measured response is used in a ratio calculation. The measured response is stored in the instrument and is used in the ratio calculation to convert RLU (relative light unit) measurements of unknowns to percentage uptake values.

Thyroid Uptake Test:

Thyroid uptake, also known as radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU), is a diagnostic tool that measures how much radioactive iodine the thyroid gland absorbs over a specific time period. The test involves taking a radioactive tracer, such as a protein or molecule attached to radioactive material, and then measuring the amount of iodine the thyroid absorbs with a probe.

Thyroid Uptake test procedure and steps:

During the test, the patient takes a pill or liquid that contains a small amount of radioactive iodine, such as I-123, which is absorbed by the thyroid gland. The first scan is usually done 4–6 hours after taking the pill, and the second scan is usually done 24 hours later. The test lasts about an hour. 

Normal 24-hour uptake values range from 10–30%. Hypothyroidism is considered any percentage less than 10, while uptake values greater than 30 indicate hyperthyroidism. Decreased uptake can be caused by primary hypothyroidism, destructive thyroiditis, post-thyroidectomy, 131 I treatment, or external neck radiation.

The thyroid uptake scan is rarely used to check for thyroid cancer because other tests are more accurate. However, a thyroid scan can show signs of a tumor
