Product Introduction
The fluorecare® Folate Test Kit (FA) developed by Microprofit is a quantitative immunofluorescence assay (FIA) designed for the accurate detection of folate levels in human serum and plasma. As part of the fluorecare® POCT diagnostic platform, this test kit enables rapid and reliable quantitative analysis, supporting efficient clinical decision-making in laboratories, hospitals, and point-of-care testing environments.
Detection Principle
The fluorecare® Folate test kit utilizes fluorescence immunochromatographic assay technology based on a competitive method. Folate in the sample competes with the coated antigen for fluorescent-labeled antibodies. The signal intensity is inversely proportional to the folate concentration and is detected and analyzed by the fluorecare® immunofluorescence analyzer, enabling accurate and quantitative measurement.
Clinical Applications
• Assessment of folate nutritional status and deficiency
• Investigation of megaloblastic anemia
• Support for prenatal and pregnancy nutritional management
• Evaluation of folate-related metabolic and neurological conditions
• Clinical laboratory and decentralized POCT testing
