Clinical Diagnostics

ACC offers (1→3)-ß-D-glucan analysis to support the diagnosis of Invasive Fungal Disease (IFD). Testing services are provided through our reference laboratory, Beacon Diagnostics®, a CLIA-certified laboratory specializing in (1→3)-ß-D-glucan analysis.

ACC also offers the Fungitell® Assay Kit, a (1→3)-ß-D-Glucan specific Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) reagent containing a chromogenic peptide substrate. (1→3)-ß-D-Glucan in the sample causes activation of a serine protease. The activated protease cleaves p-nitroaniline (pNA) from the peptide substrate and the free pNA is measured at 405 nm.
