Cryptococcal Capsular Polysaccharide Detection K-Set
Cryptococcal antigen detection for serum and CSF
A qualitative reagent kit for detecting cryptococcal capsular polysaccharide antigen in serum and cerebrospinal fluid, intended to aid the diagnosis of cryptococcal infection and meningitis.
The Cryptococcal Capsular Polysaccharide Detection K-Set from Era Biology is designed to detect cryptococcal capsular polysaccharide antigen (CrAg) in patient specimens, helping support the diagnosis of cryptococcal infection and cryptococcal meningitis. Cryptococcal disease is a serious opportunistic infection, particularly among immunocompromised patients, where timely laboratory information can contribute to clinical decision-making.
The kit is intended for use with both serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens, allowing laboratories to investigate suspected cryptococcal antigenaemia and central nervous system involvement within a consistent workflow. By targeting the capsular polysaccharide antigen, the assay provides a focused qualitative result that can complement broader fungal diagnostic pathways.
Distributed in India by Biostate DX, the kit is supported by Biostate DX's distribution and technical support. Results are intended to be interpreted as part of a complete diagnostic assessment, alongside clinical evaluation and other laboratory findings, rather than in isolation.
