Assay Principle
The Diazyme Calprotectin Assay is a particle-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay. Calprotectin in the sample binds to specific anti-calprotectin antibodies, which is coated on latex particles, and causes agglutination. This agglutination is detected as an absorbance change, with the magnitude of the change directly related to the quantity of Calprotectin in the sample. The actual concentration is then determined by the interpolation from a calibration curve prepared from calibrators of known concentration.
Intended use
The Diazyme Calprotectin Assay is immunoturbidimetric assay used for the quantitative measurement of human fecal calprotectin in human stool. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
