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. 
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...
Iron Regulation and Homeostasis: Kits to Study Regulatory Proteins
Iron Homeostasis Iron is a trace element required for several critical cellular processes. Too little iron (anemia) or too much iron (iron overload) can be harmful. While there is no known mechanism for the controlled excretion of excess iron, a handful of regulatory proteins control the absorpti...

The Significance of Bioactive Leptin in Obesity Research
May 3, 2016 Leptin resistance is a challenging topic of conversation in obesity. It is defined by a state in which the body does not display any adapted response to high endogenous or exogenous levels of leptin while continuing to maintain excess body weight1. This may be due to a decreased uptak...
