Total and free prostate-specific antigen assays

Olympus has launched highly sensitive and precise prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and free PSA (fPSA) assays for the Olympus AU3000i immunoassay analyser. The use of PSA and fPSA is well established in the screening and management of prostate cancer, and the PSA assay has a functional sensitivity of 0.015 ìg/L.

The Olympus PSA and fPSA assays utilise a two-step immunometric design, which minimises the risk of high-dose hook, thus ensuring that even the measurement of samples with highly elevated PSA levels will generate appropriate results.With the launch of both PSA and fPSA, Olympus completes another major test panel for the AU3000i.

The primary tumour marker panel includes AFP, CEA, PSA, and fPSA – assays that account for approximately 70% of the tumour marker workload performed in a laboratory. Additionally, Olympus offers the specialist tumour markers GI-TC and BR-TC, and further tumour markers are planned for the future.
