CALEX® Cap Stool Preparation Device
CALEX® Cap Stool Preparation Device: When used in combination with both assays, the BÜHLMANN CALEX® Cap enables seamless integration into Total Laboratory Automation (TLA) by allowing direct application onto analyzers, minimizing the complexity of sample processing. The device is designed to optimize stool extraction efficiency, helping to maximize sample stability and yield, and ultimately delivering robust, reliable, and accurate results for both fecal calprotectin and pancreatic elastase testing (one sample for two assays).
