| Coat-A-Count AFP IRMA
is an immunoradiometric assay designed
for the quantitative measurement of
alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in serum. It is
intended strictly for in vitro use in either of
two contexts:
(a) serial measurements to aid in the
management of patients with
nonseminomatous testicular cancer and
other conditions associated with abnormal
AFP production; or
(b) measurements in maternal serum
during gestational weeks 15 through 21 –
used in conjunction with ultrasonography
or amniography – to aid in the detection of
fetal open neural tube defects. |
