B·R·A·H·M·S AFP KRYPTOR
Automated immunofluorescent assay for the quantitative determination of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in human serum, heparin plasma or amniotic fluid.
- Excellent precision
- Very short incubation time
- Very broad measuring range with automatic dilution
Clinical indication
The B·R·A·H·M·S AFP KRYPTOR test is indicated to be used in conjunction with other laboratory findings and clinical data as an aid for non-invasive risk assessment of fetal trisomy 21 and 18 in the second trimester of pregnancy.
The test can also be used to screen for fetal neural tube defects in maternal serum and as an aid in diagnosis of neural tube defects in amniotic fluid in conjunction with other clinical data in the second trimester of pregnancy.
