Product Introduction

The fluorecare® Fecal Calprotectin Test Kit developed by Microprofit is a qualitative immunofluorescence assay (FIA) designed for the detection of calprotectin in human feces. As an aid in the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), this test helps differentiate inflammatory from functional bowel conditions and supports primary screening. As part of the fluorecare® POCT diagnostic platform, it delivers fast and reliable results in laboratories, hospitals, and point-of-care testing environments.

Detection Principle

The fluorecare® Fecal Calprotectin test kit utilizes fluorescence immunochromatographic assay technology based on a double-antibody sandwich method. Calprotectin in the fecal sample binds with fluorescent-labeled antibodies to form antigen-antibody complexes, which are captured on the test line. The fluorescence signal is analyzed by the fluorecare® immunofluorescence analyzer and reported as a qualitative positive or negative result in S/CO units.

Clinical Applications

• Aid in the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

• Differentiation between inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

• Monitoring of intestinal inflammation activity

• Primary screening of gastrointestinal inflammatory conditions

• Clinical laboratory and decentralized POCT testing
