EUROIMMUN ELISAs based on recombinant antigens p52 (IgM) and glycoprotein B (IgG) from cytomegalovirus (CMV) provided a higher rate of conclusive results in first-line testing of samples from pregnant women than lysate-based assays. A recombinant testing strategy could thus help to reduce the number of analyses required for routine CMV screening during pregnancy. These are […]

EUROIMMUN ELISAs for detection of antibodies against Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) reliably identify acute CCHF cases and are suitable for laboratories involved in on-site outbreak support. This was demonstrated in a recently published study in collaboration with scientists at a national reference laboratory in Turkey. Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a life-threatening tick-borne disease

Indirect immunofluorescence diagnostics is one of EUROIMMUN’s long-standing areas of expertise, at least since the introduction of the then ground-breaking BIOCHIP technology in 1983. In the development of new test systems and automation solutions we focus on the current needs of diagnostic laboratories of all sample throughputs. We aim to enable laboratories to process our

New year, same challenges: There is a shortage of laboratory specialists, which has been brought into the spotlight by the pandemic. For many of them, urgent emails and the need to prioritise analyses have become the norm. This is especially problematic in the time-critical field of diagnostics, where patients are waiting for appropriate treatment. Using

Cakes and biscuits are an integral part of Christmas traditions. But unfortunately they are not a treat that everyone can enjoy. Many grains such as wheat, rye and spelt contain gluten. This is made up predominantly of gliadin, which is only partly digested in the intestine. The resulting smaller protein structures, so called oligopeptides, can
