Basophils Are Still Alive

Quality Assay & Sample Stability for Viable Basophils Basophil Activation Testing (often referred to as BAT) is a flow-cytometry-based functional assay that assesses the degree of cell activation after exposure to stimuli.3 Q: Do you know which BAT application makes sense for your lab? Are you thinking about implementing an allergy BAT?  Or are you

The Advantages of an Immunoturbidimetric Assay for Measuring Calprotectin in Fecal Samples

 Technical Details Speed An immunoturbidimetric assay (or particle-enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay (PETIA)) for measuring Calprotectin is the fastest solution in the market with the shortest time to first result regardless of using sample batches or random access. On average, the time to first result is 7.6 min [5 min -11.6 min] with additional results every 10.86

The Value of Calprotectin in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Management

Calprotectin: The Key to a Successful Treatment Pathway for IBD What is Inflammatory Bowel Disease? Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gut, which presents with periods of inflammatory activity (flares) and quiescent phases (remission) as  can be seen in many chronic diseases. IBD includes several different diseases; the two most

Basophil Activation Testing – Standardized

3 Reasons to Consider this Method in Kinase Inhibitor Drug Development Basophils are the circulating immune cells that participate in allergic reactions and share many of the signaling pathways that are also present in other types of immune cells that may develop into blood cancers or participate in the development of autoimmune disorders.  Therefore, measuring
