The ALPCO Calprotectin Chemiluminescence ELISA is an in vitro diagnostic chemiluminescent assay intended for the quantitative measurement of fecal calprotectin, a neutrophilic protein that is a marker of intestinal mucosal inflammation, in human stool. The ALPCO Calprotectin Chemiluminescence ELISA is intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), specifically Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), and as an aid in the differentiation of IBD from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings.
The Calprotectin Chemiluminescence ELISA is the most clinically accurate test on the market and provides the following:
The best combination of clinical specificity (95.1%) and clinical sensitivity (92.1%) when used as an aid in the differentiation of IBD from IBS.
The broadest range from the primary dilution of 7.9 - 6,000 ug/g.
The lowest false positive rate of any calprotectin test on the market.
Fast time to results with an assay run time of only 1 hour 32 minutes.

In the webinar, Dr. Benjamin Click from the University of Colorado, Department of Gastroenterology, underscores the critical role of non-invasive monitoring methods, particularly fecal calprotectin monitoring, in guiding treatment adjustments and achieving therapeutic goals..
This infographic distills the essence of the new American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Clinical Practice Guideline on the Role of Biomarkers in Crohn's Disease (CD). It sheds light on the nuanced recommendations for using biomarkers to monitor and evaluate CD, emphasizing their value in conjunction with clinical symptoms.
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 path.
1. What percentage of your IgE allergy testing panel consists of molecular allergens rather than allergen extracts? The ALEX2 IgE allergen panel consists of 117 extracts and 183 molecular allergens. This represents the largest panel of molecular allergens on the market, including 50 unique...
Cases of food and environmental allergies have been increasing over the last decade. While conservative estimates suggest IgE-mediated allergy affects 6-8% of children and 2-3% of adults, some estimates are as high as 30%.3, 2 Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include itching, hives,...
Food sensitivity or food intolerance involves a non-allergic response to a food or food additive. In a recent on-line survey conducted in the U.S., 24% of adults aged 18 to 79 reported a food intolerance. While a food allergy is typically mediated by IgE antibodies, adverse reactions to food...
