The EAEC is a multiplex real-time PCR assay for the direct, qualitative detection of enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC). After DNA isolation, amplification of the gene fragments specific for EAEC (aat, aggR, if present) occurs. The amplified targets are detected with hydrolysis probes, which are labelled at one end with a quencher and at the other end with a fluorescent reporter dye (fluorophore). In the presence of a target the probes hybridize to the amplicons. During the extension step the Taq-Polymerase breaks the reporter-quencher proximity. The reporter emits a fluorescent signal which is detected by the optical unit of a realtime PCR instrument. The fluorescence signal increases with the number of formed amplicons. The EAEC assay contains an Internal Control DNA (ICD) as an internal control of sample preparation procedure and to determine possible PCR-inhibition.
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...
The ALPCO Glucagon ELISA is for the quantitative determination of glucagon in human EDTA plasma. This assay was developed for ease-of-use and demonstrates superior sensitivity while eliminating cross-reactivity issues present in other commercially-available assays.
ALPCO’s automated turbidimetric solution for calprotectin testing offers enhanced efficiency without compromising clinical sensitivity or specificity. Clinicians can prioritize endoscopic evaluation for the patients that need it most and quickly put IBS patients on the right treatment path.
