Description

Product Overview

The Calprotectin Test Kit is a fluorescence immunoassay designed for quantitative determination of fecal calprotectin in human stool specimens. Calprotectin is a protein released by neutrophils and monocytes during intestinal inflammation and serves as an important biomarker for gastrointestinal inflammatory disorders. Measurement of fecal calprotectin helps clinicians differentiate inflammatory bowel diseases from functional gastrointestinal conditions and evaluate disease activity.

Intended Use

For in vitro quantitative determination of calprotectin in human fecal samples. The test is used as an aid in diagnosis and monitoring of inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

Clinical Significance

Differentiates inflammatory bowel disease from irritable bowel syndrome. Assesses disease severity and mucosal inflammation. Monitors treatment response and risk of relapse.

Test Principle

Sandwich fluorescence immunoassay where labelled monoclonal antibodies bind to calprotectin forming complexes detected by the analyzer.
