With passion for rheumatology! Diagnostics of the different autoimmune-related rheumatic diseases pose a particular challenge to rheumatologists: They are confronted with at least 400 inflammatory joint, connective tissue or vascular diseases, which include subgroups sometimes requiring different treatments, and cause a great variety of symptoms. In addition to symptoms, specific antibodies are characterising features. But
Do you remember 2005? It was the year of USB flash drives, Bluetooth headsets, digital cameras – and the EUROStar. The first EUROIMMUN microscope was designed to simplify microscopy and eliminate the long waiting times required to fully warm up the mercury vapour lamps used in conventional microscopes.

Keep the overview and focus on relevance and quality with our carefully selected portfolio in allergy diagnostics. In allergy diagnostics, chemiluminescence immunoassays (ChLIA) contribute to quick and precise identification of sensitisations to allergens. They allow specific determination of IgE antibodies in the blood, which can cause allergic reactions. This is especially important when traditional skin
A novel cell-based immunofluorescence assay (CBA) provides sensitive and specific detection of IgM antibodies against myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), as demonstrated in a study published in collaboration with scientists from the University of Verona and the Pediatric Research Institute in Padua, Italy. The Anti-MAG CBA is now available for research use*. Anti-MAG-IgM antibodies are markers for
