Fungi (1,3)-β-D-glucan Assay Kit is applied to quickly quantify Fungi (1,3)-β-D-glucan in human plasma or serum. It will help to identify invasive Fungal Disease early in the disease process.
(1-3)-β-D-Glucan Detection Kit (Kinetic Chromogenic Method) measures levels of (1-3)-β-D-Glucan by kinetic chromogenic method. The assay is based upon a modification factor G pathway of the Amebocyte Lysate (AL). (1-3)-β-D-Glucan activates Factor G, the activated Factor G converts the inactive proclotting enzyme to the active clotting enzyme, which in turn cleaves pNA from the chromogenic peptide substrate. pNA is a chromophore that absorbs at 405 nm. The rate of OD increase at 405nm of the reaction solution is directly proportional to the concentration of the reaction solution (1-3)-β-D-Glucan. The concentration of (1-3)-β-D-Glucan in the reaction solution can be calculated according to the standard curve by recording the rate of change of the OD value of the reaction solution through optical detection equipment and software.
Assay range: 25-1000 pg/ml
Assay time: 40 minutes, sample pre-treatment: 10 minutes
The highly sensitive, rapid assay assists clinicians in identifying Invasive Fungal Disease (IFD) early in the disease process. The kit has obtained EU CE qualification and can be used for clinical diagnosis.
Immunosuppressed patients are at high risk for developing invasive fungal disease, which is often difficult to diagnose. Affected patient populations include:
Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy
Stem Cell and Organ Transplant patients
Burn patients
HIV patients
ICU patients
