Faecal calprotectin Immuno turbidimetric assay reagents fCAL™ turbo BÜHLMANN approx 200 tests to differentiate IBS vs IBD & monitor disease
Product code: B-KCAL-RSET
Product Information
Increased levels of faecal calprotectin are shown to correlate well with both endoscopic and histological assessment of disease activity and so Calprotectin assays can also be used to monitor patient responses to therapy and help predict relapse.
The BÜHLMANN fCAL® turbo is ideal for use in high throughput laboratory environments for screening and monitoring IBD patients and can be used on many open access biochemistry analysers. It is a turbidimetric immunoassay based on the standardisation of the BÜHLMANN fCAL® ELISA:
