....MoHFW and the response received are tabulated below S. No. Clarification sought Response from MOHFW 1. How is a CLIA diagnostic kit defined? What are the different parameters that need to fulfilled to be considered as a CLIA diagnostic kit? Chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) is a widely used detection method which combines the highly-sensitive chemiluminescence assay with highly- specific ....

....uded within CLIA 4. Whether an ECLIA diagnostic kit that is imported can also be used as a CLIA diagnostic kit. CLIA and ECLIA (Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay) both, are advanced methods of Immuno diagnostics based on the concept of antibody- antigen binding. CLIA uses a chemical reaction to generate chemiluminescence following antibody-antigen binding while ECLIA uses an electrochemical ....

....escence is produced as a result of chemical reaction where as in Electro Chemiluninescencelmmunoassay (ECLIA). theluminescenee is produced as a result of electrochemical reaction. The CLIA and ECLIA can accommodate many immunoasay principles while providing superior performance and the applications, uses of both the techniques are same. Hence both CLIA and ECLIA are one and the same. 4. The above....
