Product Overview

The IL-6 (Interleukin-6) Test Kit is designed for quantitative determination of interleukin-6 in human whole blood, serum or plasma using fluorescence immunoassay technology. Interleukin-6 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by immune cells in response to infection, inflammation and tissue injury.

Measurement of IL-6 levels assists clinicians in evaluating inflammatory response, diagnosing infections and monitoring immune system activation in critically ill patients.

Clinical Significance

Interleukin-6 plays a key role in inflammatory and immune responses. Elevated IL-6 levels are associated with various infectious and inflammatory diseases.

Measurement of IL-6 is useful for:

• Detection of systemic inflammation
• Early diagnosis of sepsis
• Monitoring cytokine storm conditions
• Evaluation of autoimmune diseases
• Monitoring inflammatory disorders

Key Features

• Quantitative fluorescence immunoassay
• High sensitivity detection of IL-6
• Rapid results within minutes
• Suitable for hospital laboratories and intensive care units
• Compatible with immunofluorescence analyzers

Sample Type

Whole blood
Serum
Plasma

Test Time

Approximately 15 minutes

Compatible Analyzers

Compatible with fluorescence immunoassay analyzers including GETEIN 1100, GETEIN 1160 and FIA 8000 analyzers.

Principle of the Test

The IL-6 Test Kit is based on fluorescence immunoassay technology. The sample reacts with fluorescence labeled antibodies specific to interleukin-6. The fluorescence signal generated is measured by the immunofluorescence analyzer and is proportional to the concentration of IL-6 present in the sample.

Applications

This product can be effectively utilized in:

• Hospital laboratories
• Intensive care units
• Infection and inflammation diagnosis
• Monitoring cytokine response
• Point-of-care testing centers

Intended Use

The IL-6 Test Kit is intended for in vitro diagnostic use for quantitative determination of interleukin-6 in human whole blood, serum or plasma using fluorescence immunoassay analyzers in clinical laboratories and hospital settings.
