A non-isotopic heterogeneous competitive immunoassay of serum cortisol is described. Cortisol present in the sample competes with immobilised cortisol (cortisol-thyroglobulin conjugate) for binding to a monoclonal anti-cortisol biotinylated antibody. The amount of antibody bound is measured on the dry solid-phase by time-resolved fluorometry after adding streptavidin labeled with the Eu3+ chelate 4,7-bis(chlorosulfophenyl)-1,10 phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid (BCPDA), in the presence of excess Eu3+. The assay is simple to perform, its characteristics are similar to those of radioimmunoassay techniques, and is suitable for routine clinical use.

D005063 Europium An element of the rare earth family of metals. It has the atomic symbol Eu, atomic number 63, and atomic weight 152. Europium is used in the form of its salts as coatings for cathode ray tubes and in the form of its organic derivatives as shift reagents in NMR spectroscopy.
D006854 Hydrocortisone The main glucocorticoid secreted by the ADRENAL CORTEX. Its synthetic counterpart is used, either as an injection or topically, in the treatment of inflammation, allergy, collagen diseases, asthma, adrenocortical deficiency, shock, and some neoplastic conditions.

D015200 Fluoroimmunoassay The use of fluorescence spectrometry to obtain quantitative results for the FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE. One advantage over the other methods (e.g., radioimmunoassay) is its extreme sensitivity, with a detection limit on the order of tenths of microgram/liter.
