Packs that enable patients to directly prepare CALEX samples at home themselves. It immediately extracts and stabilises any calprotectin. It can then be sent to the laboratory, rather than supplying a stool sample in a container. Features Bühlmann CALEX caps.
Faecal calprotectin extraction device with Bühlmann CALEX cap pre-filled with buffer, for preparation of faecal samples. Designed to minimise operator contact with the sample, while optimising extraction of calprotectin, to simplify and assist the pre-analytical faecal extraction process.
Flexible immuno-turbidimetric assay for faecal calprotectin. applicable on many major clinical chemistry platforms. Allows very rapid and flexible random-access use, as well as being ideal for high throughput applications in the routine laboratory. Time to result 10 minutes; range 20–8000μg/g.
Provides quantitative in vitro determination of faecal calprotectin in environments with a high sample throughput. Includes 2x96 wells.
A rapid, comprehensive, low-cost quantitative faecal calprotectin testing platform for fast turnaround with lower throughput and point-of-care requirements than laboratory methods.
Kit for quantitative evaluation of calprotectin levels by patients at home. Read using smartphone technology. The CALEX valve allows patients to process their own samples at home without the need for vortex mixing, centrifuging or pipetting. The lever at the base of the CALEX dispenses the precise amount of liquid onto the lateral flow test cassette. After 12 minutes the calprotectin assay is read using a smartphone and the data is transmitted to the clinicians via a secure encrypted web based portal. The portal allows clinicians to customise the cut off values for each patient and determine if the patient sees the actual quantitative result or a traffic light system. Assay range 30–1000µg/g; storage 2–8°C; shelf life 9 months. Test time 2–24 hours preparartion time, 12 minutes assay time.
