Calprotectin
Unique reagents for faecal calprotectin test for the OC-Sensor series.
Calprotectin is an inflammatory protein abundantly present in neutrophils, which are released into the bowel in response to mucosal inflammation. Tools for the detection of calprotectin in stool samples have been available for years as both qualitative and quantitative assays for use in the distinguishing IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) from functional intestinal disorders (e.g. Irritable bowel syndrome, IBS) and monitoring ulcerative colitis (UC) disease activity.
OC-FCa Reagent is for quantitative measurement of calprotectin in faeces using automated faecal test analyser, OC-SENSOR PLEDIA and OC-SENSOR Ceres. OC-Auto Sampling Bottle 3, which is common with FIT, can be used for Faecal Calprotectin (FCa) testing. OC-Auto Sampling Bottle 3 and OC-SENSOR are widely used in over 45 countries worldwide.
