Thyroid Disease Testing and Analysis Services

The functioning of the thyroid gland becomes disrupted during thyroid disorders which represent common endocrine conditions resulting in thyroid hormone imbalances that subsequently influence metabolism along with energy levels and overall health.

Significance of Testing

Thyroglobulin Antibody (TgAb):

• Helps diagnose Hashimoto's thyroiditis, with over 90% positivity in these patients
• While less specific than TPOAb, its presence signals thyroid damage risk
• In Graves' disease, high TgAb levels may predict poorer treatment response and higher relapse risk

Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody (TPOAb):

• Autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto's disease use this marker as the gold standard because it indicates near complete positivity
• Strongly linked to thyroid inflammation and future hypothyroidism risk
• Even mildly elevated levels in pregnancy may indicate postpartum thyroiditis risk

TSH Receptor Antibody (TRAb):

• Confirms Graves' disease diagnosis with >90% sensitivity
• Levels correlate with disease severity and relapse likelihood
• Helps distinguish autoimmune hyperthyroidism from other causes when clinical signs are unclear

Thyroid Disease Testing and Analysis Services

To accurately diagnose and monitor thyroid diseases, we offer a range of specialized testing services, including:

• TgAb Testing
• TPOAb Testing
• TRAb Testing

We utilize various advanced testing methods combined with different technologies to ensure the accuracy and reliability of results.

ELISA Testing Services for Thyroid Disease

As our core detection method, ELISA technology offers the following features:

• High Sensitivity and Specificity: This technology identifies low-level antibodies while reducing the chances for false-positive or false-negative results.
• Cost-Efficiency: This technology identifies low-level antibodies while reducing the chances for false-positive or false-negative results.
• Standardized Workflow: Fully automated platform ensures result consistency, supporting thyroid function stratification (e.g., subclinical hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism).

In addition to ELISA, we integrate advanced technologies to meet diverse diagnostic needs:

• Indirect Immunofluorescence (IIF): This method employs fluorescent labeling to identify antibody locations specifically within thyroid tissues for screening purposes.
• Western Blot: This technique validates antibodies at low concentrations while confirming their specificity through examples such as TgAb/TPOAb cross-reactivity identification.
• Enzyme-Linked Immunospot (ELISpot): ELISpot tests T-cell responses for measuring autoimmune disease activity.
• Immunoturbidimetry: Rapidly quantifies complement-binding antibodies for acute-phase monitoring.
• Protein Microarray Technology: Enables high-throughput parallel analysis of 10+ antibodies, enhancing efficiency in complex case diagnosis.

Our service platform offers the following features:

• Comprehensiveness: Diagnostic information becomes comprehensive when multiple testing methods are combined.
• High Sensitivity and Specificity: Advanced technologies help deliver accurate and reliable outcomes.
• Personalized Service: Tailoring testing plans according to individual patient needs.

Customized Services

We understand that clients have diverse requirements which leads us to deliver services customized according to their requests. Clients have the option to select appropriate testing methods for their unique circumstances while supplying required samples.

For example:

• IIF: The recommended volume for client serum samples is 5 mL which requires testing completion within 1-2 working days.
• ELISA: A blood sample volume of 3 mL is required from clients who should expect test results within 2-3 working days.

Our testing services cover numerous thyroid disease biomarkers among others:

• Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
• Free Triiodothyronine (FT3)
• Free Thyroxine (FT4)
• Calcitonin (Ctn)
