Dedicated Calprotectin Website Provides a Valuable Information Resource
Calprotectin.co.uk is a new website from Alpha Laboratories that is dedicated to raising awareness amongst Clinicians and Laboratories about the value of testing for Calprotectin.
Faecal Calprotectin is a new biomarker which is helping to save money for the NHS by preventing unnecessary procedures on patients by screening out those with IBS who do not therefore require endoscopies.
The symptoms of functional disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and organic inflammatory intestinal disease (IBD) can be very similar in presentation but are two very different medical conditions. Historically, clinical gastroenterologists have had to use invasive endoscopy to differentially diagnose between these conditions. Not only is this stressful for the patient, it is costly for the NHS.
The NHS Centre for Evidence-based Purchasing has conducted several reviews on calprotectin testing and its use in differentiating IBS and IBD. These reports conclude that using calprotectin assays supports improvements in patient management as well as offering substantial cost savings.
Calprotectin.co.uk also introduces CALcheck Blue™, the latest product from the Buhlmann Calprotectin Test Family. It is a dipstick immunoassay designed for the qualitative determination of calprotectin in human stool samples. It is intended for screening for organic intestinal bowel diseases (IBD). CALcheck Blue™ comes in two different formats for the laboratory, Gastroenterology clinic and primary care environments.
Contact Alpha Laboratories to request a free sample of CALcheck Blue™ and see how much time, money and effort it could save you. LAB PRODUCTS MORE INFO. 548
Energy Efficient 700 litre -86°C Freezer Provides Maximum Sample Security
Energy efficiency is fast becoming a vital feature of modern laboratory equipment, and this is clearly demonstrated in the new Eco VIP KM-DU73Y1E -86°C upright freezer from Panasonic. With a capacity of 728 litres, the freezer is the most energy-efficient of its size, and is ideal for sample storage within hospitals, biomedical research institutes and biopharmaceutical laboratories.
Energy savings lead to reduced running costs as well as environmental benefits, and so the KM-DU73Y1E provides a range of advantages to all users of ultra-low temperature freezers.
In comparison to other widely used, -86°C freezers of this size, the KM-DU73Y1E can help to reduce electrical running costs by up to 50%. This efficiency is achieved with the use of natural refrigerants, advanced Panasonic refrigeration technology and VIP PLUS vacuum panel insulation. As well as energy savings, VIP PLUS insulation panels save 30% floor space compared to conventionally insulated upright freezers.
The combination of the above features with Panasonic’s control technology provides improved cooling performance and excellent insulation characteristics and door-open recovery times. A streamlined cooling system provides even greater reliability for the security of valuable and often irreplaceable samples.
The KM-DU73Y1E is one of the new Class IIa Medical Device certified Eco VIP ultra-low freezers from Panasonic. LAB PRODUCTS MORE INFO. 549
