Clarus EIA for qualitative detection of Aspergillus galactomannan in serum and BAL samples from patients at risk of invasive aspergillosis

The clarus Aspergillus GM EIA is a non-automated immunoenzymatic, sandwich microplate assay that detects Aspergillus galactomannan in serum and BAL samples. It can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of aspergillosis when tested in conjunction with other diagnostic procedures
such as microbiological culture, histological examination of biopsy samples, and radiographic evidence.
Product code: AGM101
Storage requirements: 2-8C
Sample Type: Serum or BAL. Collect samples aseptically using established techniques by qualified personnel. The use of specimens other than serum or BAL has not been established. Specimens in transit between labs should be maintained at 2-8°C. Process and test samples upon arrival. If a delay is encountered in specimen processing, storage for up to 2 weeks at <-20°C or 10 days at 2-8°C is permissible. For longer storage, store specimen at -80°C. Specimens can be subjected to a maximum of 5 freezing / thawing cycles. A very low-positive specimen could become negative after storage. Previously frozen specimens should be thoroughly mixed after thawing prior to testing. Specimens should be brought to room temperature prior to testing (18-25°C). Heat treatment of samples and controls before testing is required.
Wavelength: 450nm and 620/630nm
Expected results: Negative <0.20 EIA units, Positive >0.20 EIA units
