NEWS The IVD industry is moving towards nucleic acid based diagnostics for faster detection of infectious diseases. The challenge for laboratories is ϐinding effective and affordable control technology to monitor processes from start to ϐinish, and report patient results. Aalto Bio Reagents entered the molecular diagnostics market in 2015 with AaltoCC, our new range of external run controls designed to address the quality and regulatory challenges fac ing molecular diagnos ti c s laboratories. The AaltoCC controls act like human patient samples and are suitable for daily control of both the extraction and ampliϐication processes. AaltoCC controls are supplied in kits of 10 vials (200ul or 1ml) and will be available for the following targets : · Cytomegalovirus (plasma) · Chlamydia trachomatis (exudate) · Chlamydia trachomatis (urine) · Chlamydia trachomatis/Neisseria gonorrhoeae (exudate) · Chlamydia trachomatis/Neisseria gonorrhoeae (urine) · Epstein Barr Virus (plasma) · HSV-1 (CSF) · HSV-1 (plasma) · HSV-1/HSV-2 (CSF) · HSV-1/HSV-2 (plasma) · HSV-2 (CSF) · HSV-2 (plasma) · HSV-1/HSV-2/VZV (exudate) · Mycobacterium tuberculosis (sputum) · Mycobacterium tuberculosis INH resistant strains (sputum) · Mycobacterium tuberculosis RIF resistant strains (sputum) · Neisseria gonorrhoeae (exudate) · Neisseria gonorrhoeae (urine) · VZV (CSF) Under development · BK Virus (plasma) · JC Virus (plasma) · HPV (exudate) Molecular Molecular Diagnostics Controls Disease State Plasmas Antisera Infectious Disease Antigens Antibodies Proteins Tumour Markers Cardiac Markers Quality ISO 9001:2008 NSAI Certied Arboviruses Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are important causes of human disease nearly worldwide. In recent years the numbers of reported cases of Arbovirus such as Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika virus has been increasing. These viruses are spread by the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito and cannot be spread directly from person to person. Outbreaks of endemic mosquitoborne illnesses are common in the tropical and subtropical climates of Australia, Asia, tropical Africa and South America. Arboviruses, particularly Dengue, can be serious diseases with symptoms including high fever, headache, pain behind the eyes, joint pain, muscle and bone pain and rash. With Dengue, patients may experience mild bleeding (e.g. gums and nose bleeds). The early clinical manifestations of Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika virus are very similar so it is important to differentiate between the three in order to eliminate Dengue. NSAIDs can alleviate symptoms in Chikungunya and Zika virus but should be avoided in patients with Dengue due to risk of haemorrhaging. Laboratory diagnosis is generally accomplished by testing serum or plasma to detect virus, viral nucleic acid, or virus-speciϐic immunoglobulin M and neutralizing antibodies. Aalto Bio Reagents are now supplying a full range of Zika, Chikungunya and Dengue virus antigens. These antigens can be used as components for development of diagnostic assays.

Increased levels are also associated with colon, lung and hepatic tumours. It is becoming increasingly difϐicult to source the human raw material needed to produce native CA15-3. Aalto Bio are pleased to announce availability of partially puriϐied CA15-3, code BF 3315 produced from human ϐluids. The raw material will be available on a continuous basis so it eliminates the insecurity often associated with native material. The native CA15-3 complements our expanding range of cancer markers : Ÿ CA15-3, native Ÿ CA15-3, cell culture derived Molecular Diagnostics Controls Rebranding NEWS HIV-1 gp120env HIV-1 p24gag NEW Product Partially Puriϐied IgE Aalto Bio Reagents is pleased to announce availability of our partially puriϔied cell culture derived IgE (Aalto code AU 3296). IgE is a member of the immunoglobulin family of proteins that was ϐirst described in the 1960s. IgE, like all immunoglobulins, is produced by plasma cells in response to antigenic stimuli. IgE is unique however in certain structural aspects and the role it plays in allergic diseases. Measurement of total serum IgE is often used as a tool in the diagnosis and management of aic diseases such as asthma, hay fever, aic dermatitis and urticaria. It has been used to distinguish aic from non-aic individuals presenting allergy-like symptoms. In addition, studies have also shown that increased levels of IgE in cord blood and infants may be predictive of future aic tendencies. Normal levels of circulating IgE are extremely low in comparison to other immunoglobulins. Levels of IgE at birth are almost undetectable but increase in non-allergic adults. Elevated levels are commonly seen in cases of allergic diseases, parasitic infections, pulmonary aspergillosis, Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome, and myeloma. Myeloma IgE plasma has been the raw material of choice for many years for manufacturers of IgE control and calibrators. Locating this natural product can be challenging and often companies are forced to hold large volumes in stock or face potential out of stock situation. Compared to native myeloma plasma our cell culture derived IgE has the distinct advantage of always being available. The material is derived from a human myeloma cell line which means that lot to lot consistency is guaranteed without having to worry about relying on a donor and all of the concerns that can accompany a natural product. Given an accurate forecast we can manufacture and have available quantities ranging from a few mgs to multiple grams. Additionally the price per mg will not change depending on the titre, as would be the case when purchasing natural material by the ml. Please contact us today for a quotation. Aalto Bio provides a range of “do-it-yourself (DIY)” research assay protocols for detection of HIV-1 p24gag and HIV-1 gp120env. These DIY ELISA assays are being widely used by AIDS research laboratories in Europe, the United States, Australia, Africa and China for monitoring HIV-1 replication in a range of research applications. Demand for our afϐinity puriϐied anti-HIV-1 gp120env (code D7324) continues to grow among AIDS research laboratories. We have available a DIY ELISA protocol for detection of HIV-1 gp120env incorporating code D7324 as the capture antibody. The captured gp120 protein is recognised at a separate site by a second antibody that is, in turn, detected using a third, enzyme labelled, anti- antibody Three different DIY ELISA protocols are available with varying ranges of sensitivity for detection of HIV-1 p24gag. These assays use our afϐinity puriϐied anti-HIV-1 p24gag (code D7320), as the capture element. Our biotinylated conjugate or alkaline phosphatase conjugate of MAb to HIV-1 p24gag (respective codes BC1071-BIOT and BC1071-AP) are used as label, together with appropriate detection systems. “Do-It-Yourself” ELISA Protocols for Detection of HIV-1 proteins For further Information please contact : Aalto Bio Reagents Ltd.
