Product Datasheets
| rT3
Reverse triiodothyronine, also known as rT3, is an isomer of triiodothyronine (T3).Reverse T3 is the third-most common iodothyronine the thyroid gland releases into the bloodstream, at 0.9%; tetraiodothyronine (levothyroxine, T4) constitutes 90% and T3 is 9%. However, 95% of rT3 in human blood is made elsewhere in the body, as enzymes remove a particular iodine atom from T4.The levels of rT3 increase in conditions such as euthyroid sick syndrome because its clearance decreases while its production stays the same.| Typical data
As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.| Concentration (pg/mL) | 6000 | 3000 | 1500 | 750 | 375 | 187.5 | 93.75 | 0 |
| OD | 0.188 | 0.27 | 0.389 | 0.642 | 0.929 | 1.38 | 1.766 | 1.842 |
| Repeatability
Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay):CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays):CV% < 10%| Recovery
The recovery of Human rT3 spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.| Sample Type | Range(%) | Average Recovery(%) |
| Serum(n=8) | 81-101 | 96 |
| Plasma(n=8) | 92-105 | 101 |
| Linearity
Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Human rT3 and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.| Serum(n=4) | Plasma(n=4) | ||
| 1 : 2 | Range (%) | 83-95 | 88-96 |
| Average (%) | 91 | 93 | |
| 1 : 4 | Range (%) | 89-104 | 87-108 |
| Average (%) | 93 | 98 |
