What Is IAC Cleanup?

What is IAC Cleanup testing?
Immunoaffinity columns contain antibodies that selectively bind the target analyte, cleaning up and concentrating the sample extract before HPLC or LC-MS/MS analysis. The extract passes through the column, the analyte binds to the antibody, interferences are washed away and the analyte is eluted for instrumental analysis.
Mechanism

How the Method Works

The extract passes through the column, the analyte binds to the antibody, interferences are washed away and the analyte is eluted for instrumental analysis.

ExtractPrepare and dilute the sample extract.
LoadPass the extract through the column.
WashRemove matrix interferences.
EluteRelease the concentrated analyte.
AnalyseInject onto HPLC or LC-MS/MS.
