PhiCal Test

Calprotectin - a direct and non invasive marker of intestinal inflammation.

PhiCalPhiCal ELISA Test is a validated and FDA approved assay system for the determination of calprotectin in stool extracts.

  • Reliable tool to differentiate between IBD and IBS
  • Assessment of inflammation activity in IBD
  • Monitoring response to treatment in IBD
  • Assessment of mucosal healing in IBD
  • Predictor of relapses in IBD

PhiCal Test (Calprest) is a quantitative enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) for detection of increased concentrations of calprotectin in plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, urine or stools as a consequence of disease in relevant organs. During septicaemia, plasma calprotectin levels will rise more rapidly than C-reactive protein since increased synthesis of the latter by the liver takes time, while calprotectin is pre-formed in the leukocytes.
