Less false positives
High specificity due to the selection and use of recombinant antigens in this portfolio means laboratories can help reduce the number of false positives, aiding clinicians in prescribing appropriate therapies.1
Laboratory efficient
On PhadiaTM Laboratory Systems, the EliA portfolio may help to reduce labor costs and hands-on time with onboard dilution, random access, and calibration curves stored for every isotype (IgG, IgA, IgM).2
High sensitivity and specificity1,3,4
Even for difficult-to-detect antibodies, such as anti-SS-A/Ro or anti-Jo-1, high quality EliA antigens can help identify important antibodies associated with CTD.5,6

Why use EliA assays to aid in diagnosing connective tissue disease?
High quality antigens ensure highly specific and sensitive assays
Many antigens used in EliA CTD assays are manufactured using innovative human recombinant protein technology which allows for optimized accessibility and purity, increasing the clinical utility of these assays. 1,3,4
Optimized for routine testing and lean working
EliA CTD assays are fully automated solid-phase fluorescence enzyme immunoassays (FEIA) performed on Phadia Laboratory Systems, optimizing laboratory workflow efficiency and throughput while minimizing turnaround time.
Clinically powerful and cost-effective
Combing the EliA CTD portfolio with IFA ANA testing…
…significantly improves diagnostic accuracy.7,8
…reduces the cost for immunoserological diagnosis by 22 percent.9
