The state-of-the-art UNIQO 160 is EUROIMMUN’s all-in-one system reducing manual working steps, increasing productivity and ensuring maximum diagnostic precision. Full automation of indirect immunofluorescence assays (IFA) from the primary sample to the result proposal makes the instrument an ideal choice for laboratories wanting to take their IFA workflow to the next level. The UNIQO 160 […]
Abnormally elevated blood pressure (hypertension, HT) is a major cause of premature death and a challenge worldwide, with an estimated number of >1 billion adults aged 30–79 years having hypertension, many of them unaware of being affected. Unfortunately, HT can be a symptom of various diseases with very different causes, making diagnostics difficult. The adrenal
Diagnostics using indirect immunofluorescence tests (IFA) cover a wide range of indications and therefore have long been the gold standard in the laboratory. However, despite the many diagnostic applications of this method, evaluating fluorescence patterns can be a real challenge. More than half of the specific patterns that can be found in the evaluation of
A multiparameter EUROLINE blot for detection of myositis-related autoantibodies showed a high agreement with muscle biopsy results in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), suggesting it can be used as a first-line diagnostic tool in the diagnostic workflow. The recently published study was performed as part of a collaboration between scientists from EUROIMMUN Brazil and
The frequency of intrathecal antibody production to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients is surprisingly low compared to that of other microbial agents. This was shown in a collaborative study between EUROIMMUN and scientists at Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin. The finding is intriguing given the strong link between EBV and MS. EBV is presumed
