About

A reliable diagnosis of infectious diseases is the basis for efficient treatment and therapy. Since many pathogens cause similar, usually non-specific symptoms, a diagnosis based on clinical symptoms alone is often not possible. For this reason, the suspected diagnosis is usually supported by a variety of laboratory examinations.

Diagnosis

Serology is widely used to detect specific IgG, IgM and IgA antibodies against a range of different pathogens in the serum of patients to support the diagnosis of infectious diseases. Due to the often non-specific clinical symptoms caused by a variety of different viruses or bacteria, numerous analyses are usually required to provide a reliable differential diagnosis. Therefore, the unrestricted combinability of immunoassays, that are easy to perform and fast in providing results, is of particular importance in routine diagnostic services.

Sebia’s Expertise

Sebia offers Alegria Monotests for random access determination of IgG, IgM and IgA antibodies against a range of different viruses and bacteria to support the diagnosis of infectious diseases and for immune status determination. Carefully selected antigens for each individual immunoassay are the basis for the high accuracy of our specialized and constantly growing test portfolio. The economical all-in-one Alegria Monotests are miniaturized labs-on-a-strip particularly suited for small series. Each test strip contains all assay-specific reagents necessary for the analysis of one patient´s sample. The unique flexibility to combine different Alegria Monotests for fully automated use with Alegria 2 enables the rapid generation of comprehensive patient-orientated diagnostic antibody profiles. In addition to the Alegria Monotests, standard ELISA are available for higher sample throughput.
