Minimise your efforts.


Maximise your results.
Gastrointestinal disease diagnosis is of vital importance for certain types of diseases, which can
be prevented and controlled with early diagnosis and monitoring.

With this in mind, we bring into the market an in house developed comprehensive system for
fecal analysis that allows an easy, accurate and reliable determination of fecal parameters in
your laboratory, making the process cleaner, safer and faster.

Our main objective is to meet your needs and to strive to exceed technical, economic and
human expectations. We are committed to provide the best possible user experience.

What is FECAL
Calprotectin (FCAL)?
Calprotectin determination in feces allows detecting
the presence of intestinal inflammation and therefore
minimizing or even avoiding the need for endoscopy.
Calprotectin determination also allows differentiating
inflammatory bowel disease from irritable bowel
syndrome (IBS) and has a better correlation with
the degree of inflammation than clinical indices and
serological markers.

What is FECAL
Occult Blood (FOB)?
The presence of haemoglobin in feces is indicative
of some type of bleeding injury in the intestinal tract.
The cause of bleeding may be due to multiple factors
such as polyps in the colon, adenomas, Crohn’s
disease, ulcerative colitis or colorectal carcinoma
among others. Althought the definitive diagnosis of
colon cancer is based on colonoscopy, the detection
of occult haemoglobin in feces can be useful for
its early detection. The test is used in middle-aged
population studies in which it is quite common that
the intestinal polyps become cancerous.

Technological
innovation

We simplify fecal
sampling collection
The new dedicated sample collection tube requires no special
pre-treatment and is very hygienic and safe for users due to the cap
piercing function. The universal tube can be used for both fecal
occult blood and fecal calprotectin assays and has a long shelf life,
even at room temperature.

Validated and reliable


reagents for your laboratory
Latex enhanced immunoturbidimetric reagents for a high specificity
and sensitivity in fecal tests with controls and standards ready-to-
use to reduce your laboratory workload.

Robust and versatile


analytical system
We have fine-tuned the A15 system with the new cap piercing
function to reduce tube manipulation, as well as dedicated software
for fecal sample analysis. The new software allows users to define
cut-offs, quantitative and qualitative results and report data in
different units.
