EliA Tests Helping in the Diagnosis of Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmune disorders are rare and difficult to diagnose. That’s why we have developed more than 57 clinically relevant tests manufactured to help healthcare providers make a better diagnosis and more informed treatment decisions. Our high-quality portfolio of markers comprises tools for the diagnosis of the most frequent systemic and organ-specific autoimmune diseases, including connective tissue diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, antiphospholipid syndrome, vasculitis and Goodpasture syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, pernicious anemia, autoimmune liver diseases, and autoimmune thyroid diseases. We deliver extensive support that gives you the confidence your lab needs to provide a first-class autoimmunity diagnostic service that puts the patient first.1-6
Why choose Thermo Fisher Scientific as your partner in autoimmune disease diagnostics?
Helping clinicians put the patient first with EliA tests. EliA™ tests provide a clinically relevant, accurate, and continuously growing test portfolio on reliable laboratory systems with scalable instrument solutions for different throughput needs.
EliA tests assist you in putting the patient first by:
Helping your lab provide a comprehensive clinical picture.
- Offering one of the broadest portfolios on the market, consisting of clinically relevant markers developed into the highest quality tests to support in the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases, potentially improving patient outcomes.1
Helping you get it right the first time.
- Focusing on the optimum balance of sensitivity and specificity, the EliA portfolio can help enable clinicians to diagnose the patient correctly, sooner.1-6
Best-in-class.
- With best-in-class specificity in celiac disease and rheumatoid arthritis, EliA tests can help you reduce false positive results and avoidable treatments in these highly investigated conditions.2-4
Driving workflow efficiency
EliA tests use ready-to-use reagents and an efficient, flexible calibration system with one calibration curve per method stored for 28 days (i.e., IgG, IgM, IgA, Calprotectin, and anti-TSH-R), allowing you to maximize workflow efficiency by:1
- Loading and unloading tests as needed, enabling you to run low throughput tests as they arrive.1
- Reducing costs and minimizing valuable time associated with managing calibration curves.1
- Ensuring long walkaway times once the run has been started, supporting lean working.1
State-of-the-art tests: Simplifying laboratory operations
- EliA tests are developed and manufactured in our center of excellence facility using the eukaryotic Sf9 expression system to produce recombinant antigens. This will help to simplify your laboratory operations through the efficient production of high-volume lots with excellent lot-to-lot reproducibility, maximum accuracy, and outstanding quality, ultimately reducing validation steps in your laboratory.1, 7
