Methodology
CLIA (Chemiluminescence Immunoassay)
The test is performed using the Chemiluminescence Immunoassay (CLIA) method. This is an advanced immunoassay technique known for its superior sensitivity and specificity. The CLIA method provides a precise quantitative result, which is crucial for monitoring disease activity and response to treatment. Key features of this methodology include:
* High Sensitivity: CLIA can detect very low levels of calprotectin, allowing for the early detection of inflammation.
* Quantitative Results: The test provides a specific numerical value (e.g., in µg/g), which allows for objective tracking of disease activity over time.
* Accuracy and Precision: The automated nature of the CLIA platform ensures high reproducibility and accuracy, minimizing the risk of human error.
Sample Required
* STOOL sample: A small, pea-sized portion of a freshly passed stool is collected in a sterile, leak-proof container provided by the laboratory. Proper collection is essential to ensure the accuracy of the results.
Preparation
#1) Stool Collection Kit: A sterile, provided container with a designated scoop should be used for collection. #2) Fresh Sample: The stool sample should be collected as a fresh sample. It is best to c... Read more
