layman-friendly IFU, featuring simple instructions, diagrams, and instructional video links, ensures ease of use for patients with varying sample consistencies.
The CALEX system significantly enhances sample stability compared to traditional stool samples. With stability at ambient temperature for up to 7 days and up to 15 days at 2-8°C, laboratories benefit from consistent results and increased flexibility in testing practices.
