What Does CEDIA Stand For?

CEDIA stands for Cloned Enzyme Donor Immunoassay

CEDIA, or Cloned Enzyme Donor Immunoassay, is a highly sensitive and specific analytical technique used for the detection of various biological molecules, including drugs and hormones. This assay employs a unique mechanism in which an enzyme is divided into two inactive fragments, one of which is attached to a target molecule. Upon binding with an antibody, the fragments are brought together, leading to the restoration of enzymatic activity. CEDIA provides rapid results and is commonly utilized in clinical diagnostics and toxicology testing, enhancing accuracy in identifying analytes in complex biological samples.
