In order to quantify the amount of insulin produced by the beta cells, different assays can be used to measure the concentration of insulin. Such assays include ELISAs and RIA. Both of these assays are used in various labs for measuring hormones including insulin. A few drawbacks to the RIA are that the assay takes two days to perform and more importantly, involves the use of radioactive materials. For these reasons, there is significant interest in developing an in-house insulin ELISA that will be faster in generating data than the RIA, be just as sensitive, while being about half of the cost of a commercial ELISA, and involve no radioactive materials. en Wake Forest University Antibody Diabetes ELISA Immunoassay Insulin RIA Design of an In-House Insulin ELISA Thesis Opara, Emmanuel C Skardal, Aleks Biomedical Engineering open.access
