1. What is KL-6? KL-6 is recognized as a valid indicator of lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis, and is expressed on the surface of type II alveolar epithelial cells, in normal lung tissue and terminal bronchiolar epithelial cells. It is expressed in very small amounts, and is enhanced in degenerative (proliferating, regenerating, or damaged) type II alveolar epithelial cells, which is directly rel...
In vitro diagnostics (IVD), refers to products and services that obtain clinical diagnostic information by testing human samples (various body fluids, cells, tissue samples, etc.) outside the human body, and then judge diseases or body functions. In vitro diagnostics is known as the "doctor's eye" in the medical field, and is an important part of modern laboratory medicine, and its clinical ...
POCT is indeed an important direction for the future development of the IVD industry and has broad prospects. Let me elaborate on the advantages and development trends of POCT for you: 1. Efficient and convenient detection mode POCT adopts a distributed, real-time detection mode, similar to the resource allocation method of online car-hailing, which greatly improves the detection efficiency and re...
The paramount importance of chemiluminescence technology—a mainstream technique in immunodiagnostics—in the field of In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) is self-evident. However, in the current highly competitive environment, technological innovation remains the core competitiveness of enterprises. Breaking through the traditional barriers of chemiluminescence and forging new paths is the inevi...

Founded in 1949, ADLM is the world's highest quality and largest annual event for clinical testing, showcasing cutting-edge medical technolog...
In the first two issues of popular science, the mainstream chemiluminescence technology in immunodiagnosis was introduced, and it was also understood that chemiluminescence is divided into homogeneous chemiluminescence and heterogeneous chemiluminescence according to whether separation and cleaning steps are required. Compared with the traditional heterogeneous immunoassay mode, homogeneous chemil...
Vitamin D is essential for children's health, especially in terms of growth and bone health. Measurement of 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OH VD) is the most reliable diagnostic standard for vitamin D levels. Vitamin D deficiency in children harms: ◎1.Lack of vitamin D may cause rickets, which is a disease characterized by softening and deformation of bones, which may lead to short stature and de...
What are the hormones fertility? When do I need to check? When is the right time to check? What's the point of each one? 1. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) It is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, and its physiological role is mainly to promote the development and maturation of follicles and secrete estrogen. 2. Luteinizing hormone (LH) It is a glycoprotein hormon...
