Optical Q - Immunoassay for Quantitative Determination of Total T3

Triiodothyronine (T3) is one of two major hormones produced by the thyroid gland. T3 plays an important role in the maintenance of the euthyroid state. T3 measurements can be a valuable component in diagnosing certain disorders of thyroid function. T3 levels distinguish clearly between euthyroid and hyperthyroid subjects, but provide a less clear-cut separation between hypothyroid and euthyroid subjects. T3 tests help diagnose hyperthyroidism and other thyroid complications and can be used to monitor effectiveness of treatment of a thyroid disorder.
