Road Map for the Clinical Application of the Basophil Activation Test in Food Allergy
BAT is sensitive and more specific than standard testing and has the potential to reduce the number of OFC currently needed to diagnose IgE-mediated food allergy as well as to monitor clinical response to treatment and possible resolution of food allergy..". "..in order to achieve a widespread adoption of BAT in clinical practice, it is necessary to achieve standardization of the laboratory procedure and data analyses and more rigorous validation.". ...
Experience with BUHLMANN fCAL turbo- SYNLAB
contamination could happen. After installation of the method on the analyser including additional wash steps we found our initial concerns were dispelled because we mainly had positive experiences. No adverse events or interferences in combination with the calprotectin analysis on our AU5800 were observed, so far.. The handling and preparation of the fCAL® turbo assay on our chemistry analyser is faster and easier than before, only one step is needed and the CALEX® Cap extraction device can be put directly on the Beckman Coulter AU5800.. Performance of the assay. In contrast to the previously used calprotectin assay, the fCAL® turbo offers an extended test range from 20 to 8,000 µg/g. The precision is below 5% CV and the calibrations are stable over several weeks. The two methods correlate very well and despite the observed positive bias the same clinical decision can be made applying the identical cut-off at 50 ug/g calprotectin in stool.. CALEX® Cap for Extraction. In the clinical ...
