Datasheet: Fungitell® Assay

Serum test for (1→3) ß-D-Glucan
FDA-Cleared, 510(k) in vitro diagnostic

The Fungitell® assay is a highly sensitive, microplate-based test that detects (1→3)-ß-D-Glucan in serum. (1→3)-ß-D Glucan is a cell wall constituent of most medically important fungi including Candida and Aspergillus.* (1→3)-ß-D-Glucan is normally found at low levels in the blood of healthy humans. In at risk patients, serum (1→3)-ß-D-Glucan values of at least 80 pg/mL, are highly associated with invasive fungal disease. Conversely, low levels of (1→3)-ß-D-Glucan have a high negative predictive value for invasive fungal disease.
