Automated immunofluorescent assay for the quantitative determination of human Placental Growth Factor (PlGF) in human serum or EDTA plasma.
- Excellent precision
- Very low detection limit
- Best functional assay sensitivity (FAS)
Clinical indication
The B·R·A·H·M·S PlGF plus KRYPTOR assay is indicated to be used in conjunction with additional clinical data as an aid in assessing the risk of fetal trisomy 21 and the risk for developing pre-eclampsia in first trimester screening of pregnant women.
The B·R·A·H·M·S PlGF plus KRYPTOR assay is intended to be used - together with the B·R·A·H·M·S sFlt-1 KRYPTOR assay and additional clinical and diagnostic findings - as an aid in the diagnosis of pre-eclampsia and/or short-term prognosis of pre-eclampsia in pregnant women with suspicion of pre-eclampsia.

Hight sensitivity and wide measuring range
With a the lowest FAS and lowest cross-reactivity to other PlGF isoforms B·R·A·H·M·S PlGF plus KRYPTOR provides the high sensitivity needed for reliably measuring PlGF levels in first trimester. The wide measuring range also allows to reliably measure high clinical values in second and third trimester.
