The BÜHLMANN fCAL® ELISA (EK-CAL) is the UK market-leading calprotectin ELISA. It provides quantitative in vitro determination of fecal calprotectin in high sample throughput environments.
The kit format is a microtitre plate based assay that can be performed manually or on an automated ELISA system to reduce hands-on time.
CE marked protocols are available for the Dynex DS2 and DSx plus the Grifols Triturus®. Alpha Laboratories Ltd. supplies the Dynex DS2 for capital purchase or reagent rental.
Two different protocols are available with the fCAL ELISA to cover the ranges required for IBD and IBS differentiation plus the extended range format for use in monitoring patient therapy and mucosal healing. This reduces the need for further dilution and repeated assay.
Features:
- Ranges are 10-600µg/g or 30-1800µg/g
- A consistent cut-off of 50µg/g is used throughout the Bühlmann Calprotectin range
- Simple extraction procedures for Calprotectin are available using the dedicated CALEX® Cap device or the Schebo or Roche extraction devices
All reagents, standards, and controls are provided in one kit and are ready for use.
There is no requirement for reconstituting any component, apart from the wash buffer.
This minimizes any errors as well as ensuring a long shelf life.
