Ichroma Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP)

Key Features

1. Quantitative AFP Measurement

• Measures Alpha-Fetoprotein levels accurately to assist in:

  • Diagnosis and monitoring of primary liver cancer

  • Evaluation of liver cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis

  • Prenatal screening, including neural tube defect risk assessment

2. Fast Turnaround Time

• Typically 10–12 minutes from sample loading to result.

3. Fluorescence Immunoassay (FIA) Technology

• Uses fluorescent-labeled antibodies for high sensitivity and specificity.

• Provides reliable quantification comparable to standard laboratory analyzers.

4. Easy Operation

• Simple test cartridge format.

• Automated reading on ichroma analyzers.

• Minimal user training required.

5. Small Sample Volume

• Requires only a small blood sample (whole blood, serum, or plasma).

6. Portable & Convenient

• Works with compact ichroma analyzers.

• Suitable for point-of-care and laboratory environments.

Clinical Applications

• Screening for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

• Monitoring treatment response in liver cancer patients

• Assessment of liver diseases such as cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis

• Prenatal screening (maternal serum AFP)

• Follow-up testing for high-risk patients
