Read on below to discover the full range of IVD products!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In case you didn’t know, or if you did, here’s a reminder:<\/p>\n\n\n\n TransFix\u00ae<\/a><\/strong> is a stabilisation reagent that preserves cellular antigens and prevents cellular degradation in whole blood and cerebrospinal fluid for flow cytometric analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n IQ Products<\/a><\/strong> manufactures a range of antibody-based diagnostic products, including innovative kits in niche areas, with a particular focus on Women\u2019s Health and pregnancy-related disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Flow cytometry is IQ Products’ speciality, and over the years, they have developed different diagnostic assays to detect rare cell populations primarily based on high-quality antibodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, their range of IVD registered products includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n ScreenCell\u00ae<\/a><\/strong> technology is a simple and rapid liquid biopsy method for reliable and non-invasive isolation of circulating tumour cells (CTCs) from a single blood sample in patients with solid tumours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Available are 2 single-use IVD kits, each specifically designed for distinct applications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n CYTO<\/strong><\/a> – for cytological analysis – blood sample < 4 hours, cells fixed and analysed on the isolation support<\/p>\n\n\n\n Applications: CTC enumeration, detection of CTC clusters, cytopathological analysis of CTCs, evaluation of the expression of informative antigens, compatible with immunostaining methods (ICC, IF) and evaluation of cytogenetic abnormalities by FISH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MB<\/a><\/strong> – for molecular biology analysis – blood sample < 4 hours, living cells lysed on the isolation support Applications: isolation of unaltered live CTCs, extraction of high-quality CTC DNA and\/or RNA, evaluation of actionable and informative mutations, compatible with qPCR, dPCR and NGS, CTC culture and single-cell analysis and drug screening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Medical & Biological Laboratories (MBL)<\/a><\/strong> is a leading manufacturer of IVD ELISA kits<\/a><\/strong> for the diagnosis of autoantibodies commonly encountered in Autoimmune Blistering Diseases (AIBD) and Polymyositis and Dermatomyositis (PM\/DM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their latest kit, MESACUP™ Type VII Collagen TEST<\/a><\/strong>, measures anti-type VII collagen antibodies in patient serum, a characteristic of Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita (EBA), an AIBD which causes blisters on the skin and mucosal membranes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anti-type VII collagen IgG is associated with dysfunction of anchoring fibrils that stabilise dermal-epidermal adherence. Anti-type VII collagen IgG mainly reacts with non-collagen domain 1 (NC1) of type VII collagen, while NC2 is considered to contain a minor epitope. MBL’s MESACUP™ Type VII Collagen TEST is a ready-to-use, all-in-one ELISA kit which employs recombinant NC1 and NC2 antigens of type VII collagen for higher sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Advanced Molecular Diagnostics (AMD)<\/a><\/strong> is committed to advancing diagnostic technology, and its R&D team has developed a range of high-quality products, including renowned gene-specific qPCR kits and nucleic acid extraction kits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Caltag<\/a> is the distributor of\u00a0these products in the UK and Ireland.
