Plasma Proteins
Our lab has used the BN ProSpec system for plasma proteins for almost a decade. We find the system to be very reliable , easy to use and very fast. Customer support for the instrument is excellent so I would recommend purchasing a service contract as well. It is well worth it if minimal down time is important to your lab.

The BN ProSpec® is a dedicated, compact system that offers a consolidated menu of specialty and routine reagents for reliable plasma protein testing including cardiac risk assessment, kidney diseases, nutritional assessment and iron and anemia assessment as well as innovative markers such as Cystatin C and Carbohydrate-Deficient Transferrin (CDT).
The BN ProSpec® System uses our proven nephelometric technology for the determination of a large variety of assays which support the management of disease states such as iron and anemia assessment, gammopathies / immune system, kidney disease, and many others.
Features:
- Average effective throughput of 65 tests/hour
- Onboard capacity for up to 1.5 hour walkaway convenience 24-hour onboard refrigerated reagent storage to eliminate removal of controls and reagents
- Enhanced onboard stability – generally up to 6 weeks for reagents and 1 week for controls
- Barcode identification for primary sample tubes, standards, controls and reagents
- Sample auto-dilution and configurable, automatic repeat measurements for fast results with less operator intervention
- Secure interruption of assay runs for calibration and reloading – no loss of data
- Specimen level-detection
Serum Calprotectin (S100A8/A9) in Diagnosis, Monitoring, and Prognosis of Rheumatic Diseases
Serum calprotectin plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as it triggers chemotaxis, phagocyte migration, and modulation of neutrophils and macrophages. Calprotectin has been found to correlate with disease activity, and may add additional information to that provided by conventional biomarkers such as C-reactive protein (CRP).
This webinar provides an overview of the many options for use of serum calprotectin in adult and pediatric patients suffering from autoinflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Still’s disease, vasculitis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
Key learning objectives
- Discuss the role of calprotectin as a biomarker in pediatric rheumatic diseases
- Explain the clinical applications of calprotectin in diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis
- Evaluate how serum calprotectin aids in the diagnosis, monitoring of disease activity, and differentiation between rheumatic diseases and other conditions, such as infections and fever of unknown origin
Who should attend?
Rheumatologists, pediatricians, immunologists, internal medicine, lab directors, and lab managers.
