CalproGold®
Svar Life Science ABAvailable: Worldwide
CalproGold® is a highly sensitive and time-efficient turbidimetric immunoassay for calprotectin detection. The use of gold particle-conjugated antibodies enables high sensitivity and a wide range of detection. The kit is available as single components to fit the customer's needs.
CalproGold turbidimetric assay is based on the use of gold nanoparticles coated with α-Calprotectin antibodies. Increased levels of calprotectin will cause turbid solution due to the formation of agglutinates between the antibody-coated gold particles and the calprotectin molecules.
The sample is then analyzed with light transmission, and the concentration of calprotectin can be determined as it is inversely proportional to the amount of light transmitted.
