The BI-INS-IRMA kit is an immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) used on serum or on EDTA or heparined plasma samples. Two monoclonal antibodies, one radiolabelled with iodine 125 and the other adsorbed onto the inner walls of the tube, enable a sensitive (detection limit 0.2 ?UI/mL) specific assay of human insulin, in particular because of a cross-reaction <0.0001 with human pro insulin.
