Therapeutic
A comprehensive range of high-quality reagents is available for therapeutic drug monitoring.
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring is the measurement of medication levels / concentrations in blood. Its main focus is on therapeutic drugs with a narrow therapeutic range. In pharmacology, many medications are used without monitoring of blood levels, as their dosage can generally be varied according to the clinical response that a patient gets to that substance. In a small group of drugs, this is impossible, as insufficient levels will lead to under treatment or resistance, and excessive levels can lead to overtreatment, toxicity and tissue damage. The main goal of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring is to optimize the pharmacotherapy.
Thermo Scientific System Reagents are homogenous immunoassays meant for quantitative determination of therapeutic drugs in serum or plasma. Reagent bottles are bar-coded for positive reagent identification, lot number tracking and expiry date registration. Optimized package sizes help to minimize waste and to control costs. Reagents are delivered with detailed information on test procedures and performance data.
