Gastrin IVD, antibody

This category includes antibodies designed to detect gastrin, a hormone involved in regulating stomach acid production and gastrointestinal function. These immunoglobulins are used in laboratory tests to measure gastrin levels in blood or other clinical specimens, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, pernicious anemia, or chronic atrophic gastritis.

Devices in this category are in vitro diagnostic (IVD) reagents that rely on specific antibody-antigen interactions for detection. They are intended for use in clinical laboratories and are regulated as IVD medical devices, with their performance and safety evaluated according to applicable IVD regulations, though individual devices may vary in classification based on jurisdiction and intended use.
