Description: Melatonin Testing Services - Direct Saliva RIA Melatonin Assay
The Melatonin RIA (Radioimmunoassay) Test is a sophisticated and highly sensitive technique used to measure the levels of melatonin in the body. Melatonin, a hormone primarily produced by the pineal gland in the brain, plays a crucial role in regulating sleep-wake cycles. Understanding melatonin levels can provide valuable insights into various health conditions, particularly those related to sleep disorders.

The Melatonin RIA Test involves the use of radioactively labeled antibodies to detect and quantify the presence of melatonin in a biological sample, typically plasma or saliva. The test is performed in a research laboratory setting and follows these general steps:
-
A sample of plasma or saliva is collected from the patient.
-
The sample is treated with a specific antibody that binds to melatonin.
-
The antibody-melatonin complexes are then exposed to a radioactively labeled substance.
-
The radioactive label allows for the precise measurement of melatonin levels using gamma counting.
