Faecal Sample Extraction Devices

Weighing the sample is still considered the Gold-Standard practice for calprotectin extraction. However, due to the nature of samples, products have been developed in order to minimise sample handling time for laboratories, clinicians and point of care applications.

Transform Your Faecal Testing

The unique CALEX® Cap stool extraction device, from BÜHLMANN, the market leading calprotectin assay provider (*as determined by NEQAS returns), contains a measured amount of extraction buffer.

The need for sample weighing, pipetting or decanting is eliminated and direct loading of the extraction device onto ELISA processors and automated platforms is enabled.

With rapid, clean and consistent sample preparation every time, the BÜHLMANN CALEX® extraction device offers a convenient and safe stool extraction method that optimises dilution and yields maximum extraction efficiency that will improve workflow efficiency whatever your calprotectin requirements:

Rapid, Clean & Consistent Sample Preparation Every Time

Users of the BÜHLMANN range of faecal calprotectin assays and fPELA (elastase) assay can improve efficiency and laboratory workflow with the CALEX® Cap extraction device:

Modifications to the blue and white caps at either end of the CALEX device, enable them to be used on laboratory track systems for a truly automated hands off approach to faecal testing.

The white cap has been rounded so that once the stool has been sampled the CALEX can fit easily into the racks and pucks of laboratory track systems for front loading or full random access mode. The CALEX is then automatically identified from the barcode and centrifuged.
