Diagnosis of Invasive Fungal Infections

The Fungitell assay is a highly sensitive and rapid test that detects pictogram levels of (1-3)-ß-D-glucan in serum in as little as one hour. The test is designed to assist clinicians in the early detection of invasive fungal infections.

The Fungitell kit:

• Is 510(k) cleared by the FDA for diagnostic use
• Is indicated for use as an aid in the diagnosis of Invasive Fungal Infections (IFI).
• Is nearly panfungal - the test will detect most medically important fungi including Aspergillus and Candida. The kit does not detect Zygomycetes and has limited detection of Cryptococcus due to the absence or low levels of (1,3)-ß-D-glucan in these fungi.
• Contains enough reagents to run 24 to 42 patient samples (depends of number of replicates)
• Requires only an incubating microplate reader and standard software to run
• Has a run time of 40 minutes
• Is sensitive to picogram levels

Associates of Cape Cod has over thirty years of experience and expertise in the detection of glucans and endotoxins.
