What does HIV Ag AB reflex mean?
The reactive screening HIV Ab/Ag Combo assay indicates possible presence of HIV-1 p24 antigen and/or HIV-1/HIV-2 antibodies.
What is BioPlex 2200?
The BioPlex 2200 System is a fully automated, random access multiplex testing platform that combines automation with the diagnostic power of proprietary multiplex chemistry and state-of-the-art eFlex software.
What does a non-reactive test result mean?
Negative Test Result. A nonreactive test result indicates that signs of the condition being tested for are not present.
What is Bioplex?
® Bioplex® offers a range of trace minerals that provide mineral nutrition in a form as close to nature as possible. Bioplex minerals are trace minerals that are bound to amino acids and a range of peptides. They are easily absorbed and readily metabolized, optimizing animal performance.
What is Bioplex assay?
Bio-Plex Multiplex Immunoassays allow you to simultaneously quantify up to 500 proteins, peptides, and nucleic acid targets in a single 12.5 µl sample. Assays for over 450 biologically relevant targets are available as ready-to-use premixed multiplex panels and singleplex sets or in custom-mixed panels.
What are Bioplex minerals?
Bioplex minerals are trace minerals that are bound to amino acids and a range of peptides. They are easily absorbed and readily metabolized, optimizing animal performance.
How does Bioplex work?
The technology makes use of multiple assays whereby one antibody to a specific analyte is attached to a set of beads with the same colour and the second antibody is used to quantify the bound antigen. The use of different coloured beads enables the simultaneous detection of many other analytes in the same sample.
What is multiplex immunoassay?
Multiplex assays are a type of immunoassay capable of simultaneous measurement of multiple analytes. Multiplex assays are derived from the ELISA format, but instead of producing a single signal measurement, they produce multiple signal measurements.
What is Sel Plex?
Sel-Plex® is Alltech’s proprietary organic form of selenium yeast. It is an excellent dietary source of selenium and is manufactured to mimic Mother Nature. The selenium from Sel-Plex is safer and better able to meet the higher requirements of livestock raised for rapid growth, reproductive performance and health.
What does multiplex mean in medicine?
In the biological sciences, a multiplex assay is a type of immunoassay that uses magnetic beads to simultaneously measure multiple analytes in a single experiment. A multiplex assay is a derivative of an ELISA using beads for binding the capture antibody.
What are multiplex tests?
For certain patients, such as those presenting with multiple symptoms associated with respiratory viral infections, multiplex testing allows providers to test for multiple viruses at once and provide a more comprehensive clinical diagnosis.
What does an immunology blood test show?
An immunoglobulins blood test may be used to help diagnose a variety of conditions, including: Bacterial or viral infections. Immunodeficiency, a condition that reduces the body’s ability to fight infections and other diseases. An autoimmune disorder, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.
What does immunology report mean?
immunologic blood test, any of a group of diagnostic analyses of blood that employ antigens (foreign proteins) and antibodies (immunoglobulins) to detect abnormalities of the immune system. Immunity to disease depends on the body’s ability to produce antibodies when challenged by antigens.
What is a multiplex antibody?
What do you mean by multiplexed?
Multiplexing, or muxing, is a way of sending multiple signals or streams of information over a communications link at the same time in the form of a single, complex signal.
Why would you be referred to immunology?
You may see an immunologist if you have food or seasonal allergies, hay fever, eczema or an autoimmune disease. When your immune system doesn’t work as well as it should, your body doesn’t have enough defenses against infection.
What is normal range for IgA test?
The IgA normal range differs with age and the IgA normal range for an healthy adult is between 80 – 350 mg/dL.
What is autoimmune multiplex panel?
The Human Autoimmune Autoantibody panel is a bead-based multiplex assay based on the Luminex xMAP technology which enables the simultaneous analysis of autoimmune autoantibodies in human serum and plasma samples.
What is multiplex and demultiplex?
Multiplexing is method or technique in which more than one signals are combined into one signal that travels on a medium. demultiplexing is the reverse of multiplexing, in which a multiplexed signal is decomposed in individual signals.
