ALPCO’s Calprotectin Validation Assistance Program
Whether your clinical laboratory is transitioning over to the ALPCO Calprotectin Chemiluminescence ELISA from another calprotectin assay or starting to run the test in-house for the first time, validation is the most crucial step in the assay implementation process. We understand that validating a n...
Managing Calprotectin as a Send Out?
While sending out for calprotectin testing offers some cost and convenience advantages when volumes are very low, bringing the process in-house allows for the opportunity to control costs, turnaround time, and quality. Considering costs and potential revenue, the volume at which in-house calprotecti...
Enhance Your Lab’s Molecular GI Portfolio
Molecular GI testing for bacteria such as salmonella, vibrio, and E. coli, and viral pathogens including norovirus and rotavirus, is instrumental in the diagnosis and treatment of infection and dysbiosis. In addition, many gastrointestinal disorders often require protein biomarker tests to aid in ac...
Differentiating IBD from IBS with Fecal Calprotectin Testing
In an effort to improve patient care, an increasing number of gastroenterologists are using fecal calprotectin levels as a first step in the diagnosis of IBD versus IBS. ALPCO tests enable clinicians to accurately assess patients via calprotectin and quickly start patients on the right treatment pat...
High Throughput Calprotectin Testing with ALPCO Immunoturbidimetric Assay
Maximize lab efficiency with ALPCO's calprotectin immunoturbidimetric assay. Leverage existing analyzers, ensure accurate results, and improve turnaround times.
Boost Profitability with In-House Calprotectin Testing from ALPCO
Test results from outside laboratories can sometimes take up to 5 days. Random access testing enables laboratories to offer affordable same-day results. On-site testing eliminates the shipping process and maintains remnant samples on-site.
Consolidate and Improve Calprotectin Testing on Clinical Chemistry Analyzers with ALPCO
