Immunoblots are an important laboratory-diagnostic tool to detect autoimmune diseases, allergies and infectious diseases. They enable monospecific detection of many different antibodies and, simultaneously, their differentiation. Especially autoimmune diseases, such as myositis, may be caused by manifold antibodies– many of them occurring with very low prevalences. This often leads to a long search and the […]
Our main goal is to offer our customers not only a broad range of assays, but also a flexible choice of automation solutions. Therefore, this year, we have provided proofs of compatibility for a total of 89 indirect immunofluorescence tests (IIFT) with the automated EUROPattern Microscope Live. Now, our fastest microscope can be used on
Anti-TBE Virus ELISA 2.0 (IgG) After EUROIMMUN received the required certificate for its quality management system in accordance with the new European Regulation (EU) 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDR) in May of this year, the first newly developed IVD product of risk class B has now also been declared IVDR-compliant and launched
Dried blood spots (DBS) collected from the fingertip yield reliable results in analysis of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, even after prolonged storage of DBS eluates for 6 to 8 hours. This was demonstrated in a recently published study from MVZ Labor Krone GbR in Bad Salzuflen, Germany, in collaboration with EUROIMMUN and further institutions. DBS are an
A recent study has demonstrated substantial differences in SARS-CoV-2 immunity after Omicron infection in triple-COVID-19-vaccinated and antigen-naïve individuals, which may influence cross-protection against future variants. The study was performed as part of a collaboration between the Hannover Medical School, Germany and EUROIMMUN. Omicron variants are B-cell immune escape variants of SARS-CoV-2 that elude the defence
