Enzyme-catalyzed luminescence is a cornerstone of many highly sensitive Chemiluminescence Immunoassays (CLIA). This approach leverages the catalytic power of enzymes to generate a strong, measurable light signal, making it a preferred method for detecting low-concentration analytes. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers a comprehensive selection of enzyme conjugates and substrates essential for building robust CLIA systems.

The principle behind enzyme-catalyzed luminescence in CLIA involves conjugating an enzyme, most commonly Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) or Alkaline Phosphatase (AP), to an antibody or antigen. This enzyme conjugate then binds to its specific target. In the presence of a suitable substrate and often an enhancer, the enzyme catalyzes a reaction that produces light. For HRP, substrates like luminol or its derivatives are commonly used, producing visible light upon oxidation. Alkaline phosphatase, on the other hand, utilizes substrates like AMPPD (adamantyl-1,2-dioxetane-3-yl) phosphate, which upon enzymatic cleavage, generates light.

The sensitivity of these enzyme-catalyzed systems is a significant advantage. Enzymes act as catalysts, meaning they can repeatedly convert substrate molecules into light-emitting products. This catalytic amplification mechanism allows for a much greater signal output compared to direct chemiluminescence, enabling detection of analytes at picomolar or even femtomolar concentrations. The choice of enzyme and substrate combination can be optimized to achieve specific reaction kinetics and emission characteristics tailored to the assay requirements.

Furthermore, the stability and specificity of enzyme conjugates are crucial for reproducible assay performance. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. focuses on developing high-quality enzyme conjugates that maintain their activity and specificity over time, ensuring lot-to-lot consistency. Coupled with optimized substrate solutions and enhancers, these reagents provide the sensitivity and reliability needed for critical diagnostic applications, including the detection of biomarkers for various diseases, drug monitoring, and research into complex biological pathways.

The versatility of enzyme-catalyzed luminescence also extends to its integration with other assay formats, such as magnetic particle chemiluminescence immunoassay (MPCLIA). In MPCLIA, enzyme-labeled antibodies are used in conjunction with magnetic beads, benefiting from both the catalytic amplification of the enzyme and the handling advantages of magnetic separation. This combination results in assays that are not only highly sensitive but also efficient and amenable to automation.
