The Importance of Clinical Specificity: A Review of FDA Cleared Fecal Calprotectin Tests
Download
Selecting the right fecal calprotectin test for your clinical laboratory to run in-house or send out can be a difficult task to accomplish, especially when there are multiple FDA cleared options available.
Comparing the clinical characteristics of fecal calprotectin tests demonstrates th...
ALPCO received 510(k) clearance from the US FDA for its new fecal Calprotectin Chemiluminescence ELISA test.
The ALPCO Calprotectin Chemiluminescence ELISA’s superior clinical accuracy will enable clinical laboratories to provide the most accurate results to gastroenterologists facing the challenges of differentiating IBD from IBS.

Glucagon is a gut hormone generated as a result of post translational modifications during proglucagon processing in the pancreas1,2,3. Research has demonstrated that glucagon has many physiological functions1,4. Understanding the role of glucagon in energy homeostasis has become important to many diabetes and obesity researchers5. However, researching the relationship between glucagon and ener...
The Generation and Function of Active GLP-1
Active glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a member of the incretin hormone family and is generated as a result of post translational modifications during proglucagon processing1,2. Active GLP-1 plays a key role in the incretin effect and is vital for maintaining glucose homeostasis1,2. As such, both the generation and function of active GLP-1 have be...
Active glucagon-like peptide-1 (active GLP-1) is an incretin hormone known for its pivotal role in the regulation of insulin and glucagon secretion1,2. However, research has demonstrated that the accurate quantification of active GLP-1 is difficult to achieve and has led to the widespread inability to compare data across studies3,4,5. It has been determined that the DPP-4 mediated degradation o...
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a gut hormone which plays an essential role in insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis1. While GLP-1 has become central to many metabolic disease research programs, various GLP-1 ELISA kits currently available on the market have been failing to meet the needs of researchers1-5. Therefore, measuring total and active levels of GLP-1 is difficult for many labs2...
