Product catalog summary
Overview of UniQ Bone & Tissue Markers
UniQ Bone and Tissue Markers are high-quality serum assays designed to assess the metabolism of type I and type III collagen in humans. These markers are crucial for detecting and managing various diseases due to collagen's abundance in the body.

Available Products
  • UniQ PINP RIA: Measures the intact aminoterminal propeptide of type I procollagen, indicating new type I collagen formation in bones. It is used for monitoring osteoporosis treatment, encouraging treatment compliance, and assessing treatment efficacy in Paget’s disease.
  • UniQ ICTP RIA: Measures the carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen, a marker of pathological bone degradation. It is used for monitoring cancer treatment, early detection of bone metastases, and treatment of multiple myeloma and rheumatoid arthritis.
  • UniQ PIIINP RIA: Measures the intact aminoterminal propeptide of type III procollagen, used for detecting changes in connective tissue metabolism. It is particularly useful for monitoring liver fibrosis, myocardial infarction healing, growth hormone treatment, and glucocorticoid treatment.

Applications and Benefits
  • These assays provide specific means to assess collagen metabolism, aiding in the management of diseases such as osteoporosis, cancer, liver fibrosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
  • They reduce the need for invasive procedures like liver biopsies and offer early detection capabilities for bone metastases.
